C.A. No. 14-13813-DPW

PROCEDURAL ORDER
Petitioner has submitted for filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus.
A party filing a habeas action in this Court must either (1) pay the $5.00 filing fee for
habeas corpus actions; or (2) seek leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee.
Because petitioner has not submitted a filing fee or moved for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, he shall be granted additional time to do so.
Accordingly, if petitioner wishes to proceed with this action, within 21 days of the date
of this Procedural Order, he either must (1) pay the $5.00 filing fee; or (2) file a motion for leave
to proceed in forma pauperis. Failure of petitioner to comply with this directive may result in the
dismissal of this action without prejudice.
For the convenience of litigants, this Court provides a form application to seek leave to
proceed in forma pauperis. The Clerk shall provide petitioner with an Application to Proceed in
District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs.
SO ORDERED.
