JOHN ROBERT DEMOS, JR., Petitioner, v. JASON BENNETT, Respondent.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
MICHELLE L. PETERSON United States Magistrate Judge
Petitioner John Demos is a Washington prisoner who is well-known locally and nationally as an abusive litigant. Mr. Demos has submitted to the Court for filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Dkt. # 1.) However, Mr. Demos failed to submit with his petition the requisite filing fee for this action. An Order of this Court provides for the return without filing of any petition by Mr. Demos that seeks an extraordinary writ pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1651, 2253, or 2254, unless accompanied by the filing fee. See Demos v. Stanley, MC97-0031-JLW (W.D. Wash. Mar. 13, 1997).
As Mr. Demos has submitted no filing fee, the Court recommends that, pursuant to the Court's Order of March 13, 1997, the Clerk be DIRECTED to administratively close this matter. A proposed Order is attached.
Objections to this Report and Recommendation, if any, should be filed with the Clerk and served upon all parties to this suit not later than fourteen (14) days from the date on which this Report and Recommendation is signed. Failure to file objections within the specified time may affect your right to appeal. Objections should be noted for consideration on the District Judge's motions calendar fourteen (14) days from the date they are filed. Responses to objections may be filed by the day before the noting date. If no timely objections are filed, the matter will be ready for consideration by the District Judge on October 18, 2024.
