EDWARD PINDER, Petitioner, v. LINDA TRIBLEY, Respondent.
HONORABLE GERSHWIN A. DRAIN
ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE
This is a habeas case under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner Edward Pinder is a state inmate incarcerated at the Ojibway Correctional Facility in Marensico, Michigan. He filed a pro se habeas corpus petition. The Court issued an Order to Correct Deficiency because Petitioner failed to submit either the $5.00 filing fee or a certified trust account statement for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a); 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The Court ordered Petitioner to correct the deficiency within twenty-one days and cautioned that failure to do so could result in dismissal of the petition. Petitioner has not corrected the deficiency and the time for doing so has expired.
Accordingly, the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
Petitioner's Motion to Appoint Counsel [#5] is MOOT.
