Respondents.

Civil Action No. 2:11cv1009-TMH
(WO)

ORDER
It is a rule of this court that if, after considering a prisoner’s affidavit for in forma
pauperis treatment, it is determined that the prisoner is financially able to pay the appropriate
filing fee, he must do so.
Upon consideration of the fact that Petitioner had an available balance of $146.64 in
his prison account at the time he filed this petition for habeas corpus relief, it is the opinion
of the Magistrate Judge that Petitioner is able to pay the applicable $5.00 filing fee.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
1. On or before December 21, 2011, Petitioner shall forward to the Clerk of the Court
the $5.00 filing fee; and
2. Except to the extent that payment is required under this order, Petitioner’s motion
for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 2) is GRANTED. Petitioner is cautioned
that his failure to comply with this order will result in a Recommendation by the undersigned

that the instant petition be dismissed.
Done this 30th day of November, 2011.
