JOHNNY WILLIAM COFFEY, Petitioner, v. DAVID SEXTON, Warden, Respondent.


MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This is a pro se state prisoner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Doc. 1). The petitioner has not signed his pleading, has not paid the required $5.00 filing fee, nor has he submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

Therefore, the Clerk is DIRECTED to photocopy page 14 (the signature page) of the pleading and to send the original to the petitioner, while retaining the photocopy for the Court's file. The Clerk is further DIRECTED to send petitioner an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Finally, the Clerk is DIRECTED to hold the petition for thirty (30) days pending receipt of the completed signature page of the petition and either the $5.00 filing fee or a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.

Petitioner is advised that failure to sign the petition and pay the filing fee, or submit a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis, within the time allowed will result in the automatic dismissal of this action without further notice by the Clerk of Court.
