ORDER

_________________________________/

15

In this case, Bruce Shelton, a prisoner in the Clark County Detention Center, submitted a

16

petition for writ of habeas corpus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, for filing on March 25, 2016

17

(ECF No. 1). However, Shelton did not pay the $5 filing fee, and he did not submit an application to

18

proceed in forma pauperis. Furthermore, Shelton’s petition is not on a form approved by the court,

19

and is plainly incomplete. Therefore, this case will be dismissed without prejudice to Shelton

20

initiating a new habeas corpus action. If Shelton wishes to initiate a new habeas corpus action, he

21

must submit a fully completed petition for writ of habeas corpus on a correct form, together with

22

payment of the filing fee or an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

23

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice.

24

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall send to petitioner, along

25
26

with a copy of this order, two copies of the form for a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, two copies

1

of the application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners, and a copy of the instructions regarding

2

that application.

3

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner may file a habeas corpus petition (on a

4

correct form and fully completed), along with payment of the filing fee or an application to proceed

5

in forma pauperis, to initiate a new habeas corpus action. The Court will accept no further filings in

6

this case.
