ORDER REOPENING HABEAS

CORPUS ACTION

On February 5, 2007, the court dismissed this pro se habeas corpus action

because petitioner, a state prisoner, had failed to timely pay the filing fee. Petitioner

has asked that the matter be reinstated. Petitioner claims that he paid the fee in

accordance with the clerk’s notice filed November 6, 2006. Petitioner attached a

copy of a “check status update” from his inmate trust account, which shows that a

check to the US District Court in the amount of $5.00 printed on December 8, 2006

remains outstanding. Upon investigation, the clerk of the court has stated that no

payment for filing fee has been received from petitioner to the date of petitioner’s

motion for reconsideration, March 29, 2007. It appears that the check issued from

petitioner’s inmate trust account for filing fees has been lost in transit. 

For the foregoing reasons, and for good cause shown:

1) The order of dismissal entered February 5, 2007, is vacated.

2) Within thirty (30) days of the date of this order, petitioner must pay 

the $5.00 filing fee or file a completed application for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis. Failure to comply with this order will result in a dismissal of this habeas

corpus action. 

3) The clerk shall reopen the file. The clerk is further directed to provide 

petitioner with a copy of the application to proceed in forma pauperis, along with a

return envelope and instructions.
