ORDER

On December 22, 2011, Petitioner Richard Eugene Warren, who is confined in the

16

Federal Correctional Institution in Phoenix, Arizona, filed a pro se Application under 28

17

U.S.C. § 2241 for Writ of Habeas Corpus by a Person in State or Federal Custody. Petitioner

18

did not pay the $5.00 filing fee or file an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. In an

19

Order filed on January 10, 2012, the Court gave Petitioner 30 days in which to either pay the

20

filing fee or to file an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. (Doc. 3.) Petitioner has

21

done neither.1 The Court will sua sponte grant Petitioner an additional 30 days in which to

However, on January 11, 2012, and almost certainly before he received the January 10
Order, Petitioner filed two documents. (Doc. 4, 5.) One is captioned as an “Amended
Complaint for Illegal Discipline for Attempting to Access the Courts & Government
Agencies & for Theft, & Theft of Private and Public Funds, & for Illegal ‘IFRP’ Sanctions,
All Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 2241” and the second as “Petition for Redress of Illegal
Discipline for Attempting to Access the Courts, Theft, Illegal ‘IFRP’ Sanctions and Denial
of Due Process and Denail [sic] of Access to the Courts and Other Government Agencies as
well as Obstruction of Tax Filings and Obstruction of Justice.” (Doc. 4, 5.)

I.

Failure to Pay Filing Fee

3

Rule 3.5(b) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure requires that “[i]f a habeas corpus

4

petitioner desires to prosecute the petition in forma pauperis, the petitioner shall file an

5

application to proceed in forma pauperis on a form approved by the Court, accompanied by

6

a certification of the warden or other appropriate officer of the institution in which the

7

petitioner is confined as to the amount of money or securities on deposit to the petitioner’s

8

credit.” Rule 3.5(b) also requires payment of the $5.00 filing fee if a petitioner has in excess

9

of $25.00 in his inmate account.

10

Because Petitioner has not paid the $5.00 filing fee or filed an Application to Proceed

11

In Forma Pauperis, Petitioner will be given 30 days from the date this Order is filed to either

12

pay the $5.00 filing fee or file a completed Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis using

13

the form included with this Order.

Address Changes

Petitioner must file and serve a notice of a change of address in accordance with Rule

17

18

relief with a notice of change of address. Failure to comply may result in dismissal of this

Petitioner and another inmate previously filed a § 2241 petition concerning IFRT
deductions. See Warren v. Federal Bureau of Prisons, CV11-1774-PHX-RCB. The Court
summarily dismissed that case without prejudice to Petitioner and the other inmate each
individually filing a new case pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal
Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), and either paying the $350.00 filing fee or filing
an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Non-Habeas). CV11-1774, doc. 5. Petitioner
filed a motion, which the Court construed as a motion for reconsideration, arguing that his
IFRT claim may be brought in a § 2241 petition. Id., doc. 9. In an Order filed on December
12, 2011, the Court agreed and granted Petitioner’s motion for reconsideration to the extent
that it authorized Petitioner and the other inmate to each commence a new case pursuant to
§ 2241 and either pay the $5.00 filing fee or file an Application to Proceed In Forma
Pauperis (Habeas). Id., doc. 9.
