McCargo v. Jamison
Filing
4
ORDER OF DISMISSAL: Accordingly, because Petitioner did not submit an IFP application or pay the filing fee within the time allowed, the Court dismisses the petition for a writ of habeas corpus without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 19 15. Because the petition makes no substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue under 28 U.S.C. § 2253. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 6/3/2024) (mml)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL
WARDEN JAMISON,
Respondent.
COLLEEN McMAHON, Chief United States District Judge:
By order dated March 28, 2024, the Court directed Petitioner, within 30 days, to submit a
completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP application”) or pay the $5.00 fee required
to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in this court. That order specified that failure to
comply would result in dismissal of the petition. Petitioner has not filed an IFP application or
paid the fee. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914,
1915.
CONCLUSION
Accordingly, because Petitioner did not submit an IFP application or pay the filing fee
within the time allowed, the Court dismisses the petition for a writ of habeas corpus without
prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915.
Because the petition makes no substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, a
certificate of appealability will not issue under 28 U.S.C. § 2253.
The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would
not be taken in good faith, and therefore IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf.
Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444–45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates
good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue).
The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in this case.
SO ORDERED.
