ORDER

EDMUND BRENNAN, Magistrate Judge

Petitioner, a prisoner without counsel, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

A petitioner seeking a writ of habeas corpus either must pay the $5.00 filing fee, see 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a), or request leave of court to proceed in forma pauperis, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Petitioner has neither paid the fee nor submitted an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

Within 30 days from the day this order is served, petitioner may submit either the filing fee or the application required by section 1915(a). Petitioner's failure to comply with this order may result in this action being dismissed. The Clerk of the Court is directed to mail to petitioner a form application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

So ordered.
