KEITH COLEMAN, Petitioner, v. WILLIAMS, et al., Respondents.
ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
(ECF NO. 6)
ANNE R. TRAUM, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Keith Coleman had submitted a pro se 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition and has now filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF Nos. 1-1, 6.) Based on the current information about Petitioner's financial status, including any additional information he may have provided, the Court finds that he is able to pay the full fee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
Petitioner also filed a partial application to proceed in forma pauperis, ECF No. 5, which the Court denies as incomplete and moot.
It is therefore ordered that Petitioner's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis without having to prepay the full filing fee (ECF No. 6) is DENIED. Petitioner has 30 days from the date this order is entered in which to have the $5.00 filing fee sent to the Clerk of Court.
It is further ordered that failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action. The Clerk of Court is directed to retain the petition but not file it at this time.
It is further ordered that the incomplete application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 5) is DENIED as moot.
