MIGUEL RUIZ-LATORRE Petitioner v. SUPERINTENDENT THERESA DEBASO, et al., Respondents
( )
MEMORANDUM
On February 21, 2017, pro se petitioner, Miguel A. Ruiz-Latorre, an inmate housed at the Mahanoy State Correctional Institution in Frackville, Pennsylvania, filed the above-captioned petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On September 21, 2017, the Court denied Mr. Ruiz-Latorre's request to proceed without prepayment of the $5.00 filing fee as he had sufficient funds in his inmate account to pay the fee. See ECF No. 6. Petitioner was directed to pay the filing fee within twenty-one days of the Court's order or his action would be dismissed without prejudice. (Id.)
The deadline has passed and Petitioner has neither submitted the filing fee nor requested an extension of time in which to do so. Consequently, Mr. Ruiz-Latorre's Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus will be dismissed without prejudice.
The Court will issue an appropriate order. Date: November 1 , 2017
