CHAMBER STAFFORD PETITIONER v. MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS RESPONDENT
ORDER
DEBRA M. BROWN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
On or about February 25, 2022, Stafford Chambers filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi. Doc. #1. Chambers also filed a form motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. #2. However, Chambers failed to complete the authorization for release and the certificate of account sections of the motion with respect to his inmate account information. Id. at PageID 18. The same day as these filings, Chambers was ordered to “submit either the $5.00 payment of the filing fee or the proper request to proceed in forma pauperis” within 30 days and was warned that “failure to comply … may lead to the dismissal of [the] petition.” Doc. #4. Because, to date, Chambers has neither paid the filing fee nor returned a completed copy of the proper form, this habeas action is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for Chambers' failure to prosecute and failure to comply with a court order.
Based on the exhibit filed with the petition, the petitioner's legal name appears to be Stafford Chambers. See Doc. #1 at PageID 15.
SO ORDERED.
