Opinion
Case No. 5:08cv44/RS/MD.
February 22, 2008
ORDER
This cause is before the court upon a petition for writ of habeas corpus (doc. 1). Petitioner has neither paid the filing fee of $5.00 nor applied for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Petitioner's case cannot proceed until he either pays the filing fee or files a properly completed in forma pauperis application with supporting documentation.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED:
1. The clerk is directed to send petitioner a form application to proceed in forma pauperis. This case number shall be written on the form.
2. Within thirty (30) days from the date of this order, petitioner shall either pay the $5.00 filing fee in full, or submit a complete in forma pauperis application. Failure to do so will result in a recommendation that this case be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with an order of the court.
DONE AND ORDERED.
