Case No. 3:06-cv-50-J-12HTS.
February 23, 2006
ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. #1) on January 18, 2006; however, Petitioner did not pay the $5.00 filing fee or file a request to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty days of the commencement of the action. Thus, pursuant to Rule 1.03(e) of the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, this action will be dismissed without prejudice. See also 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a) (1).
If Petitioner decides to initiate a new habeas corpus case, he must pay the $5.00 filing fee or file a request to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty days of the commencement of the action.
Accordingly, it is now
ADJUDGED:
1. The Clerk of the Court shall send Petitioner a form for use in Section 2254 cases and an Affidavit of Indigency form.
In refiling, Petitioner shall fully complete the habeas corpus petition form for filing in this Court and either file an Affidavit of Indigency or pay the $5.00 filing fee. Further, Petitioner shall submit two (2) copies of the petition for service of process upon the Respondents. See Rule 3(a), Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts.
2. This Petition is DISMISSED without prejudice.
3. The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment dismissing this case without prejudice.
4. The Clerk of the Court shall close this case.
