MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on its own motion. Petitioner provisionally filed
his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (“Petition”) on May 21, 2014. (Filing No. 1.)
Due to certain technical defects, the Petition cannot be further processed. To assure
further consideration of the Petition, Petitioner must correct the defects listed below.
FAILURE TO CORRECT THESE DEFECTS WILL RESULT IN DISMISSAL
OF THE PETITION.
Petitioner has failed to include the $5.00 filing fee. Petitioner has the choice
of either tendering the $5.00 fee to the Clerk of the court or submitting a request to
proceed in forma pauperis and an affidavit of poverty in support thereof. If Petitioner
chooses to do the latter, the enclosed pauper’s forms should be completed and
returned to this court.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.
Petitioner is directed to correct the above-listed technical defect within
30 days of the date of this Memorandum and Order. Failure to comply with this
Memorandum and Order will result in dismissal of this matter without further notice.
2.

(“Petition for Relief From a Conviction or Sentence By a Person in State Custody”)

and the Form AO240 (“Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and
Affidavit”).
