Civil Action No. 7:17cv00042
By: Elizabeth K. Dillon
United States District Judge

MEMORANDUM OPINION
By order entered February 2, 2017, the court conditionally filed Pannell’s petition for
writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In the conditional filing order, the
court ordered Pannell to either pay the filing fee or apply to proceed in forma pauperis. The
court advised Pannell that failure to comply with the court’s order within twenty days would
result in the dismissal of his petition without prejudice. Pannell filed an amended petition and
requested an extension of time concerning financial arrangements. The court granted Pannell an
extension, but he did not respond to the court’s order concerning financial arrangements.
Inasmuch as the time to respond has passed and Pannell has failed to comply with the
court’s order, the court will dismiss this action without prejudice. Pannell may re-file his claims
in a separate action.
An appropriate order will be entered.
Entered: July 19, 2017.
