ANDREW EARL CHAMBERS, Petitioner, v. WARDEN NEVENS, et al., Respondents.


ORDER

Petitioner, who is a prisoner in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections, has a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (dkt. no. 1). The Court dismisses this action because petitioner did not pay the filing fee and did not file an application to proceed in forma pauperis, together with a signed financial certificate and a copy of his inmate account statement, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and Local Rule LSR 1-2.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall send petitioner a blank form for an application to proceed in forma pauperis for incarcerated litigants and a blank § 2254 habeas corpus petition form with instructions.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice to petitioner's commencement of a new action in which he either pays the filing fee in full or submits a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis, accompanied by a signed financial certificate and a statement of his inmate account. The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly.
