HANUMANT JOSHI, Petitioner v. L.J. ODDO, WARDEN, MOSHANNON VALLEY PROCESSING CENTER, Respondent
MEMORANDUM ORDER
Keith A. Pesto, United States Magistrate Judge
Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C.§ 2241 without a filing fee or motion to proceed in forma pauperis, it was administratively closed, and then petitioner paid the filing fee.
Petitioner now moves to have the Marshal serve his habeas petition. ECF no. 7. That motion is denied without prejudice. If petitioner wants the United States to bear the cost of service, he needs to file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis showing that he is unable to pay that cost.
