TEXT ORDER The Court has reviewed Petitioner's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Although the submission suggests that Petitioner may lack sufficient funds to pay the filing fee, the application is not submitted on the required form for this District and is therefore procedurally deficient. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, the Clerk is directed to mail Petitioner a blank application to proceed in forma pauperis. Within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order, Petitioner shall either: (1) submit a properly completed in forma pauperis application on the form provided by the Court; or (2) pay the $5.00 filing fee. Upon timely compliance, the Clerk shall reopen this matter. Failure to comply within the time provided may result in the matter remaining closed without further notice. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on 4/29/26. (nar) (Entered: 04/29/2026)

TEXT ORDER The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. (ECF No. 1.) This matter was previously ADMINISTRATIVELY TERMINATED due to Petitioner's failure to pay the requisite filing fee ($5.00) or submit a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF Nos. 3, 6.) Petitioner has since submitted a document labeled as an application to proceed in forma pauperis; however, the submission is not on the proper form and does not contain sufficient financial information for the Court to assess Petitioner's eligibility to proceed without prepayment of fees.To proceed in forma pauperis, Petitioner must submit a properly completed application setting forth his financial circumstances.If Petitioner wishes to reopen this action, he shall notify the Court in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of entry of this Order. Petitioner's submission must include either: (1) a properly completed application to proceed in forma pauperis; or (2) the full filing fee of $5.00. Upon receipt of a timely submission indicating that Petitioner seeks to reopen this proceeding and either a completed application or the filing fee, the Clerk of Court will be directed to reopen this matter. So Ordered by Judge Karen M. Williams on 5/6/26. (nar, n.m.) (Entered: 05/06/2026)
