ORDER RETURNING DOCUMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSING CASE
On December 9, 2010, this court entered an order declaring petitioner a vexatious litigant and restricting his filing privileges. See Luckett v. District Court, Docket No. 55189 (Order Declaring Petitioner a Vexatious Litigant and Restricting filing Privileges, December 9, 2010). That order provided that
petitioner may not file any original proper person writ petitions with this court, without payment of the filing fee, absent leave of the Chief Justice. Petitioner must submit a copy of the proposed petition, an application for in forma pauperis status that accurately reflects petitioner's current financial status and explains why the fee should be waived, and a motion for leave to file the documents, explaining briefly and clearly why an appeal is not an adequate remedy.
Id. On October 25, 2011, however, petitioner submitted the instant writ petition without paying the filing fees or complying with the requirements set forth in this court's December 9 order, for filing original writ petitions without the payment of Filing fees. Based on petitioner's failure to comply with these requirements, the instant petition should not have been filed. Accordingly, we direct the clerk of this court to return petitioner's October 25, 2011, petition and to administratively close this case. This court will not file any more of petitioner's petitions without the proper steps being followed as set forth in our December 9, 2010, order.
It is so ORDERED.
