GENERAL DOCKET
No. 3:14-mc-0403
Judge Trauger

O R D E R
The Court has before it a pro se prisoner petition (Docket
Entry No.1) under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, for writ of habeas corpus.
The petitioner has neglected, however, to either pay the fee
required for the filing of the petition or submit a properly
completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.
Accordingly, the petitioner is hereby GRANTED thirty (30) days
from the date of entry of this order on the docket in which to
either pay the filing fee of five dollars ($5.00) or submit an
application to proceed in forma pauperis.
The Clerk will provide the petitioner with a blank application
to proceed in forma pauperis along with a copy of Administrative
Order No. 93.
The petitioner is forewarned that, should he fail to comply
with these instructions within the specified period of time, the
Court will presume that he is not interested in pursuing this

matter and will dismiss the case for want of prosecution. Rule
41(b), Fed.R.Civ.P.
It is so ORDERED.
