ELECTRONIC Order and Notice of Deficiency: Petitioner Jose Rojas-Alonso must address the following deficiency: Petitioner seeks relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, but did not file his petition for writ of habeas corpus on the court-approved form. See N.D. Tex. L.R. 5.4 and Misc. Ord. 13 (requiring inmates to file petitions for writ of habeas corpus on the court-approved form). Nor did he pay the required $5.00 filing fee or file a proper request to proceed in forma pauperis along with a certified statement of the balance in Petitioner's inmate trust account. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914 (requiring $5.00 filing fee for writs of habeas corpus); N.D. Tex. Misc. Ord. 14 (requiring inmates to file motions to proceed in forma pauperis on the court-approved form). Therefore, by March 19, 2026, Petitioner is ORDERED to (1) file a petition for writ of habeas corpus on the enclosed form, and (2) pay the $5.00 filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis with the required certificate of inmate trust account. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER WILL RESULT IN THE DISMISSAL OF THIS ACTION PURSUANT TO FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 41(b). The Clerk of the Court is directed to provide to Petitioner, with service of this Order, a form petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and a prisoner motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Any amended petition will supersede (take the place of) Petitioner's previous filing. Consequently, Petitioner must state all claims in any amended petition filed. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Rebecca Rutherford on 2/19/2026) (chmb) (Entered: 02/19/2026)
