1. Petitioner Nicholas Scott Werling may have until October 12, 2023, to pay the $5 filing fee or submit a properly supported motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee.
2. If petitioner does not submit either the $5 payment or a motion for leave to proceed without prepayment before October 12, 2023, I will assume that petitioner wishes to withdraw this petition.
