ORDER

ALLAN KORNBLUM, Magistrate Judge

Petitioner, an inmate proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Doc. 1. Petitioner has failed, however, to pay the required $5.00 filing fee or, alternatively, to file an appropriate application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). Review of Petitioner's petition will be deferred until the $5.00 filing fee is paid or an appropriate application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is submitted.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

1. The clerk of court shall forward to Petitioner an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

2. Petitioner shall have until May 27, 2008, to either file an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the $5.00 filing fee.

3. Failure to respond to this order as instructed will result in a recommendation of dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with an order of this court.

DONE AND ORDERED.
