Docket Entry #1 at 40. While Ms. Carroll has submitted a copy of the petition pending in state court, she has not filed a petition for federal habeas relief. Good cause appearing, the court will grant Ms. Carroll thirty days within which to file an application for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. If she does not file a federal petition within thirty days, this case will be dismissed. Also, if the petition does not contain at least one claim for which state court remedies have been exhausted, the petition will be dismissed. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(1). The court notes that Ms. Carroll has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis and has paid the filing fee for a § 2254 action. Because the filing fee has been paid, the in forma pauperis application will be denied as unnecessary. 1 ORDER vs. WARDEN, VALLEY STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN, NICOLE CARROLL, Petitioner, No. CIV S-10-0159 KJM P IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 1/mp Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1.
