and return the standardized form for filing a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. The Court warned
Petitioner that the failure to complete and return the form in a timely manner would result in the
dismissal of the action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

More than fifteen (15) days have passed and Petitioner has not returned the required
form. Accordingly, the action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Court will
