This is an action seeking habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This matter is
before the Court because of Petitioner’s failure to comply with the magistrate judge’s order (ECF
No. 6) of February 3, 2012. A review of the record indicates that the magistrate judge ordered
Petitioner to submit either of the two items needed to render this case into “proper form” within
twenty-one (21) days, and that if he failed to do so, this case would be dismissed without prejudice.
Specifically, the magistrate judge directed Petitioner to pay the five-dollar ($5) filing fee or submit
a Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis (Form AO 240). Plaintiff has failed to respond
to the magistrate judge’s order.
Accordingly, the above-captioned case is dismissed without prejudice. The Clerk of Court
shall close the file.*
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Under the General Order (Misc. No. 3:07-MC-5014-JFA) filed on September 18, 2007, this
dismissal without prejudice does not count as a “strike” for purposes of the “three strikes” provision
of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). If Petitioner wishes to bring this action in the future, he should obtain new
forms for doing so from the Clerk’s Office in Columbia (901 Richland Street, Columbia, South
