SOLOMON PERCY TEMPLE, Petitioner, v. G.D. LEWIS, Respondent.

EDMUND F. BRENNAN

ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

A petitioner seeking a writ of habeas corpus either must pay the $5.00 filing fee, see 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a), or request leave of court to proceed in forma pauperis, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Petitioner has neither paid the fee nor submitted a properly completed application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ¹

1 While petitioner did submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis, the form submitted was incomplete.

Within 30 days from the day this order is served, petitioner may submit either the filing fee or a properly completed application required by section 1915(a). Petitioner's failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. The Clerk of the Court is directed to mail to petitioner a form application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

So ordered.
