UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FELIX CAMACHO, Petitioner, v. ROBERT HERNANDEZ, Warden Respondent.

Civil No.

08-0016 BEN (LSP)

ORDER DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND WITH LEAVE TO AMEND

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, but has failed to pay the $5.00 filing fee and has failed to move to proceed in forma pauperis. Because this Court cannot proceed until Petitioner has either paid the $5.00 filing fee or qualified to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court DISMISSES the case without prejudice. See Rule 3(a), 28 U.S.C. foll. § 2254. If Petitioner wishes to proceed with this case, he must submit, no later than March 14, 2008, a copy of this Order with the $5.00 fee or with adequate proof of his inability to pay the fee. THE CLERK OF COURT IS DIRECTED TO MAIL PETITIONER A BLANK MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS. IT IS SO ORDERED.
