UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 
RICKEY LEON SCOTT, 
Petitioner, 
v. 
P. HORN,
Respondent. 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 
On or about March 20, 2026, Petitioner filed a habeas petition with this Court, challenging 
his 2013 conviction for first-degree murder. ECF Nos. 1, 2. That same day, the Court informed 
Petitioner that the action was deficient because he had neither paid the filing fee, nor filed an 
application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 3. The Court instructed Petitioner to, 
by April 17, 2026, either pay the $5 filing fee or file an application for leave to proceed in forma 
pauperis. Id. The Court sent Petitioner a blank in forma pauperis application form. Id. The 
deadline has passed, and Petitioner has not paid the filing or filed an in forma pauperis application 
or otherwise communicated with the Court. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without 
prejudice for failure to meet the filing requirement. Judgment is entered in favor of Respondent 
and against Petitioner. The Clerk shall close the case. 
IT IS SO ORDERED. 
Dated: June 12, 2026
