ORDER DISMISSING CASE Signed by District Judge Thomas L. Ludington. (TJac)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
NORTHERN DIVISION

TIMOTHY DOYLE YOUNG,
Petitioner,
v.

Case Number 11-cv-12191
Honorable Thomas L. Ludington

BUREAU OF PRISONS,
Respondent.
________________________________________/
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Petitioner Timothy Doyle Young, presently confined at the United States Penitentiary in
Florence, Colorado, filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2241
and 2242 on May 29, 2011 [Dkt. #1]. Petitioner alleges that the Federal Bureau of Prisons is holding
him in custody in violation of federal law.
Petitioner did not pay the filing fee for this action when he filed his habeas corpus petition
on May 19, 2011, nor did he apply for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Consequently, on May
23, 2011, the Court ordered Petitioner to submit either the $5.00 filing fee or an application to
proceed in forma pauperis. The Court warned Petitioner that failure to comply with the Court’s
order within twenty-one days could result in the dismissal of this action. Petitioner has not paid the
filing fee, submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis, or requested an extension of time
to comply with the Court’s previous order.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the petition for writ of habeas corpus [Dkt. #1] is
DISMISSED without prejudice for lack of prosecution. Link v. Wabash R. R. Co., 370 U.S. 626,
629-33 (1962); Local Rule 41.2 (E.D. Mich. Mar. 2, 1998).
