MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
On June 25, 2014, Petitioner filed an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis in the above-captioned matter. He attached a copy of his prison trust account statement which shows his account balance as $576.36. His average daily balance for the previous six months has been $300.57. The filing fee for this Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 is $5.00. In view of his financial resources, Plaintiff is not indigent for the purpose of filing this Petition.
Accordingly, the Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is denied without prejudice. Plaintiff is ordered to pay the filing fee of $ 5.00 within thirty (30) days. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
