CASE NO. 8:11CV312
MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER
This matter is before the court on Petitioner’s Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma
Pauperis (“IFP”). (Filing No. 2.) Habeas corpus cases attacking the legality of a person’s
confinement require the payment of a $5.00 fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). The court has
reviewed the application to proceed IFP pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1)-(2).
Petitioner’s trust account information shows that Petitioner’s account contained an average
monthly balance of $100 or more for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing
of the petition. (Filing No. 3.) Thus, the court concludes that Petitioner must be required
to pay the $5.00 filing fee because Petitioner has the financial ability to do so. See 28
U.S.C. § 1915(a). No further review of this case will take place until the fee is paid.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.
Petitioner’s application to proceed IFP (Filing No. 2) is denied.
2.
Petitioner is granted until October 27, 2011 to pay the $5.00 filing fee.
Petitioner is warned that if the fee is not paid as required, the court may dismiss this case
without further notice.
3.
The Clerk of the court is directed to set a pro se case management deadline
in this case using the following text: October 27, 2011: deadline for Petitioner to pay $5.00
filing fee.
4.
No further review of this case will take place until the filing fee is paid.
DATED this 27th day of September, 2011.
