PAUL SAMUEL JOHNSON, 
Petitioner, 
v. 
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM, et al, 
Respondents. 
Case No. 25-cv-10503-YGR (PR) 
ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT 
PREJUDICE 
On December 5, 2025, petitioner, a state prisoner, filed the present petition for a writ of 
habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On the same day the action was filed the Court sent 
a notification to petitioner informing him that his action could not go forward until he paid the 
filing fee or filed a completed prisoner’s in forma pauperis (“IFP”) application. The Clerk of the 
Court sent petitioner a blank IFP application and told him that he must pay the fee or return the 
completed application within twenty-eight days or his action would be dismissed. 
More than twenty-eight days have passed and petitioner has neither paid the filing fee nor 
returned the completed IFP application. 
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 
The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and close the file. 
IT IS SO ORDERED. 
 Dated:
