Case No. 3:16-cv-00643-MMD-WGC
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.
WARDEN FILSON, et al.,
Respondents.

14
15

Petitioner, who is in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections, has

16

submitted a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. He did not submit an application to

17

proceed in forma pauperis, nor did he pay the filing fee of five dollars ($5.00).

18

It is therefore ordered petitioner must file an application for leave to proceed in

19

forma pauperis, accompanied by a signed financial certificate and a statement of his

20

inmate account. The Clerk of the Court will send petitioner a blank application form for

21

incarcerated litigants. In the alternative, petitioner must make the necessary

22

arrangements to pay the filing fee of five dollars ($5.00), accompanied by a copy of this

23

order. Petitioner will have thirty (30) days from the date that this order is entered to

24

comply. Failure to comply will result in the dismissal of this action.

25

DATED THIS 19th day of December 2016.
