IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
JUSTIN GARDNER,
Petitioner,

8:17CV255

vs.
STATE OF NEBRASKA,

MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

Respondent.
This matter is before the court on its own motion. Petitioner filed a Petition
for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Filing No. 1) on July 13, 2017. 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.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
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 of the court is directed to send to Petitioner the Form
AO240 (“Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit”).
3.
The clerk of the court is directed to set a pro se case management
deadline in this matter with the following text: August 14, 2017: Check for MIFP
or payment.

Dated this 13th day of July, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge
