IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
MOHAMED ABDULKADIR,
Petitioner,
8:17CV142
vs.
SCOTT R. FRAKES, Director of
Corrections; and BRAD HANSEN,
Warden at TSCI;
MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER
Respondents.
This matter is before the court on Petitioner’s Motion for Leave to Proceed
in Forma Pauperis (“IFP”). (Filing No. 5.) 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. 7.)
Thus, the court concludes that Petitioner must be required to pay the $5.00 filing
fee because he 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 request to proceed IFP (Filing No. 5) is denied.
2.
Petitioner must pay the $5.00 filing fee no later than June 12, 2017.
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: June 12, 2017: 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 12th day of May, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
