(In Chambers) Order to Show Cause why Petition should not be dismissed for
lack of prosecution

On November 21, 2016, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus by a person in
federal custody (“Petition”). (Dkt. 1.) On November 29, 2016, the Court dismissed the Petition with
leave to amend, and gave Petitioner until December 28, 2016 to file a First Amended Petition. (Dkt. 3.)
On December 29, 2016, the Court denied Petitioner’s IFP request without prejudice. (Dkt. 5.)
As of the date of this Order, Petitioner has failed to file a First Amended Petition. On or before
February 10, 2017, Petitioner is hereby ordered to file his First Amended Petition or show cause why
he failed to meet the prior December 28, 2016 deadline. Petitioner is warned that his failure to comply
with this deadline may result in the dismissal of his lawsuit for lack of prosecution.
Petitioner is reminded that per the Court’s December 29, 2016 order (Dkt. 5), Petitioner shall
also either (1) pay the $5.00 filing fee, or (2) provide the Court with an explanation as to why he cannot
pay the fee and attach an updated Certified Trust Account Statement on or before February 10, 2017.
