BRAYON JEROME WILLIAMS, Petitioner, v. ELDON GRISSOM, Respondent.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
STEPHEN R. CLARK, DISTRICT JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court on a document that Petitioner Brayon Jerome Williams has filed. Doc. 1. The Court construes the document as a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The petition is not on a Court-provided form, as required. See Local Rule 2.06(A) (“All actions brought by self-represented plaintiffs or petitioners should be filed on Court-provided forms”). Because the petition is not on a Court form, it lacks important information, including the caption and number of the case he is challenging.
The Court therefore directs Petitioner to file an amended 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition on a Court-provided form, which the Clerk of Court will send to him. If petitioner fails to file an amended petition by December 30, 2022, the Court will dismiss this action without prejudice and without further notice.
Petitioner has also filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. 2. Having reviewed the motion and accompanying affidavit, the Court grants the motion.
Accordingly, the Court grants Petitioner's [2] motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court directs the Clerk of Court to send to Petitioner a copy of the Court's 28 U.S.C. § 2241 form. Petitioner must file an amended petition on the Court-provided form by no later than December 30, 2022. If Petitioner fails to file an amended petition by December 30, 2022, the Court will dismiss this action without prejudice and without further notice.
So ordered
