MARK A. WOODSON,
# 08674-030,
Petitioner,
vs.
Case No. 17-cv-1236-DRH
T.G. WERLICH,
Respondent.
NOTICE OF IMPENDING DISMISSAL
HERNDON, District Judge:
Petitioner, a prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a habeas corpus action
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.
Despite correspondence from the Clerk,
Petitioner has not yet paid the $5 filing fee for this action, nor has he filed a
properly supported motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
See 28
U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within TWENTY-ONE (21) DAYS of the
date of the entry of this Order, January 5, 2018, Petitioner shall pay the $5
filing fee applicable to this action.
In the alternative, Petitioner may file a
motion to proceed in forma pauperis, supported by a certified copy of his prison
trust fund account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding
the filing of the Petition and an affidavit that includes a statement of his assets.
Petitioner is ADVISED that in the event he has been transferred among
institutions during this six-month period, it is Petitioner’s responsibility to
obtain a copy of his prison trust account statement from each such facility and
1
to forward it to the Court. Petitioner is FURTHER ADVISED that his obligation
to pay the filing fee for this action was incurred at the time the action was filed;
such an obligation will exist whether or not Petitioner is granted leave to
proceed in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1); see also Lucien v. Jockisch,
133 F.3d 464, 467 (7th Cir. 1998).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that upon conclusion of this twenty-one-day
period, should Petitioner fail to comply with this order, this case will be closed
for failure to comply with an order of this Court.
FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b); see
generally Ladien v. Astrachan, 128 F.3d 1051 (7th Cir. 1997); Johnson v.
Kamminga, 34 F.3d 466 (7th Cir. 1994).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
