MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the Court on its own motion. Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ
of Habeas Corpus (Filing No. 1) on February 17, 2015. However, Petitioner failed to
include the $5.00 filing fee. Petitioner has the choice of either submitting the $5.00 fee to
the Clerk’s Office or submitting a request to proceed in forma pauperis. If Petitioner
chooses to do the latter, the enclosed pauper’s forms should be completed and returned
to this Court. Failure to take either action within 30 days will result in the Court dismissing
this case without further notice to Petitioner. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1.

Petitioner is directed to submit the $5.00 fee to the Clerk’s Office or submit

a request to proceed in forma pauperis within 30 days. Failure to take either action will
result in dismissal of this matter without further notice.
2.

The Clerk’s Office is directed to send to Petitioner the Form AO240

(“Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit”).
3.

The Clerk’s Office is directed to set a pro se case management deadline in

this matter with the following text: March 20, 2015: Check for MIFP or payment.
DATED this 18th day of February, 2015.
BY THE COURT:
