CIVIL ACTION

TIM KEITH, ET AL

NUMBER 12-599-BAJ-SCR

RULING
Pro se petitioner, an inmate confined at Winn Correctional Center, Winnfield,
Louisiana, filed a Petition Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 For Writ of Habeas Corpus By a
Person in State Custody related to his 1989 East Baton Rouge Parish conviction on
first degree robbery charges.
On September 25, 2012, the petitioner was ordered within 15 days to correct
deficiencies in the pleadings. Specifically, the petitioner was advised to either pay
the filing fee or submit a statement of account completed by an authorized officer
certifying the amount of money in his inmate account and the monthly deposit and
balance averages for the preceding six months.
Despite notification of the need to correct the deficiencies in the pleadings, the
petitioner failed to correct the deficiencies in the complaint. Petitioner failed to pay
the filing fee or submit a motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
Therefore, this action shall be dismissed without prejudice for failure to correct

deficiencies in the pleadings and to pay the court’s filing fee.
Judgment shall be entered accordingly.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, October 31, 2012.
