ROLANDO ESTEBAN SANCHEZ, Petitioner, v. RAYMOND MADDEN, Warden, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE
HON. MICHAEL M. ANELLO UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Rolando Esteban Sanchez (“Petitioner”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. See ECF No. 1. Petitioner has failed to pay the $5.00 filing fee or submit a request 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. To have this case reopened, Petitioner must submit, no later than August 16, 2021, 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 will include a blank Southern District of California In Forma Pauperis application to Petitioner along with a copy of this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
