Petitioner Jason Edward Stidham has filed an application to proceed in forma

19

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in

20

forma pauperis without having to prepay the full filing fee (ECF No. 1) is DENIED.

21

Petitioner shall have thirty (30) days from the date this order is ENTERED in which to

22

have the $5.00 filing fee sent to the Clerk. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal

23

of this action. The Clerk is directed to RETAIN the petition but not file it at this time.
