BRANDON A. GASTON,
ORDER

Petitioner,
v.

15-cv-731-bbc
App. No. 16-2435

LIZZIE TEGELS,
Respondent.

On May 17, 2016, the court dismissed the habeas petition filed by petitioner Brandon
A. Gaston pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has now filed a notice of appeal from
that order. To date, however, plaintiff has not paid the $505 appellate docketing fee or
requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

For this appeal to proceed, petitioner must

either pay the $505 appellate docketing fee by July 7, 2016, or submit a certified inmate
trust fund account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the six-month period
immediately preceding the filing of this appeal.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that not later than July 7, 2016, petitioner Brandon A. Gaston shall
pay the $505 appellate docketing fee or submit a certified copy of an inmate trust fund
account statement for the period beginning approximately December 9, 2015 through at least
June 9, 2016. If petitioner fails to pay the $505 appellate docketing fee, comply as directed,
or show cause for failure to do so, then this appeal may be dismissed without further notice.
Entered this 14th day of June, 2016.
