ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

STEVE SINCLAIR,

Respondent.
This case has been referred to United States Magistrate Judge Karen L. Strombom
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local MJR 3 and 4. This matter comes before the Court

13
on Petitioner’s filing of an application to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) and proposed petition
14
15

for writ of habeas corpus. ECF No. 1. On April 22, 2013, the Court Clerk mailed a letter to

16

Petitioner advising him that his IFP application was deficient because he had failed to provide a

17

certified copy of his prison trust account statement showing transactions for the last six months.

18

ECF No. 4. Petitioner was given a deadline of May 22, 2013 to correct this deficiency. Id. He

19

has not done so.

20

Based on the information provided by Petitioner, the Court is unable to determine

21
22

whether he should be granted IFP.

23

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

24

(1)

Petitioner shall show cause why his IFP application should not be denied or pay

25

the filing fee of $5.00 on or before June 21, 2013. Failure to do so shall be deemed a failure to

26

properly prosecute and the Court will recommend that this matter be dismissed.
