UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION LISA MARIE HAVENS, Petitioner, v. MILLICENT WARREN, Respondent. ___________________________________/ OPINION AND ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMAPAUPERIS AND DISMISSING HABEAS PETITION WITHOUT PREJUDICE Petitioner Lisa Marie Haven, a state prisoner currently confined at the Huron Valley Women's Complex in Ypsilanti, Michigan, has submitted a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Petitioner's certificate of prisoner institutional/trust fund account activity states that she had a current spendable account balance of $195.67 in her prison account as of January 13, 2009, when an administrative officer of the Michigan Department of Corrections certified her financial statement. Petitioner also states that she receives a pension of $150.00 per month. The Court concludes from this financial data that Petitioner has not established indigence and that she should be able to pay the $5.00 filing fee for this action. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis and DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the petition for writ of habeas corpus. CASE NO. 2:09-CV-10399 HON. STEPHEN J.
