WARDEN C. LODEN

RESPONDENT

ORDER
On or about November 30, 2022, Russell K. Hill filed in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus and a pro se
motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Docs. #1, #2. However, Hill filed only one of the two
pages of the standard form for a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. #2. On December
6, 2022, the Court ordered Hill “to either pay the filing fee of $5.00 or submit a proper request to
proceed in forma pauperis” within 30 days and warned Hill that “failure to comply … may lead to
the dismissal of his petition.” Doc. #4. A copy of such order was mailed to Hill. Because, to
date, Hill has neither paid the filing fee nor filed a completed copy of the proper form, this habeas
action is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for
Hill’s failure to prosecute and failure to comply with a court order.
SO ORDERED, this 18th day of January, 2023.
