MINUTE ORDER by District Judge Robert S. Huie: The Petition's cover page reflects a $5 filing fee was attached, see ECF No. 1 at 1; however, the docket does not reflect any filing fee payment was made to the Court. To avoid dismissal of this case, the Court ORDERS Petitioner to pay the $5 filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis by January 15, 2026. See 28 U.S. Code § 1914(a). Until Petitioner pays the fee or the Court has approved an IFP application, the Court will not grant relief requested by Petitioner.
