Case No.: 1:16-cv-01545-RDP-TMP

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Al-Jabbaar Bey (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus on September 14,
2016. (Doc. # 1). Along with the petition, Petitioner filed a motion to proceed in forma
pauperis. (Doc. # 2). However, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis was not verified by an
authorized officer of the institution and accompanied by a certified copy of prison account
statements for the previous six months. The court notified the Petitioner of his deficient pleading
on October 4, 2016. (Doc. # 4). The court sent Petitioner a second notice of deficient pleading
on November 18, 2016. (Doc. # 5). On December 6, 2016, the second notice of deficient
pleading was returned as “unable to forward.” (Doc. # 6).
It is the responsibility of Petitioner to keep the court apprised of his address.
Accordingly, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is due to be dismissed without prejudice for
want of prosecution. A final order will be entered contemporaneously herewith.
DONE and ORDERED this December 9, 2016.
