13 Sennifer G. Zh ps 14 Chiet United States District Judge 25| Information for self-represented litigants, including filing forms, is available at: https://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/forms/pro-se-litigants/. > Petitioner neither paid the required filing fee nor filed an application to proceed in forma 27 pauperis. Under 28 U.S.C. q 1914(a), the Clerk cannot file a civit action without prepayment of the filing fee, and under § 1915(a), failure to seek leave to proceed in forma 28 pauperis provides an additional basis for dismissal. The Petition is therefore subject to dismissal on this ground as well.
