MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Petitioner, Patrick Ewart, is an immigration detainee currently lodged at the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark, New Jersey. He is proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

Therefore, IT IS this 10th day of February, 2016,
ORDERED that the Clerk shall administratively terminate this case for petitioner's failure to either pay the requisite filing fee of $5.00 or submit a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis; and it is further
ORDERED that if petitioner wishes to reopen this action, he shall notify the Court within thirty (30) days of the date of entry of this Order, in writing; petitioner's writing shall include either: (1) a complete and signed in forma pauperis application; or (2) the $5.00 filing fee; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve a copy of this Order and a blank form application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner (AO 239) to petitioner by regular U.S. mail.
