RESPONDENT(S)

ORDER REQUIRING PETITIONER TO SUBMIT AN AMENDED PETITION
ON THE PROPER FORM; ALSO REQUIRING PETITIONER TO EITHER PAY THE
FILING FEE OR SUBMIT A MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
Paul Thompson has submitted a document that the court construes as a petition for a writ of
habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The petitioner has not, however, used the court’s standard
form for such petitions. The court uses these forms for the expeditious administration of habeas
corpus petitions.
In addition, the petitioner is required to either pay the filing fee of $5.00 or submit a proper
request to proceed in forma pauperis. Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to submit either
the $5.00 payment of the filing fee or the proper request to proceed in forma pauperis.
Therefore, it is ORDERED:
(1) The petitioner must complete and return the enclosed habeas corpus form within 21 days.
(2) That within 21 days petitioner is directed to either pay the filing fee with a money order
or a check issued from his prison inmate account or fill out the attached application to
proceed in forma pauperis, complete the authorization for release, and have the
authorized officer responsible for overseeing his prison account fill out the certificate of
account, and mail to the Clerk's Office.
Petitioner is directed to acknowledge receipt of this order by signing the enclosed
acknowledgment form and returning it to the court within 14 days of this date. Petitioner is also
warned that his failure to comply with the requirements of this order may lead to the dismissal of his
petition for failure to prosecute and for failure to comply with an order of the court.
This, the 16th day of September, 2022.
