ORDER OF DISMISSAL

(Docket No. 3)

Petitioner, a federal prisoner currently incarcerated at the Federal Correctional

Institution Dublin and proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 on June 30, 2006. That same date, the Court notified

petitioner in writing that the action was deficient due to his failure to pay the requisite filing

fee or, instead, submit a completed court-approved in forma pauperis ("IFP") application,

including a trust account statement showing transactions for the preceding six months and a

certificate of funds form signed by an institution official. In said notice, petitioner was

advised that his failure to pay the filing fee or, alternatively, to file a completed IFP

application, including the trust account statement and certificate of funds form, within thirty

days, would result in dismissal of the action. Along with said notice, petitioner was sent a

copy of the Court’s IFP application, instructions for completing it, and a return envelope.

As more than thirty days have passed since the deficiency notice and petitioner has not

completed the IFP application or paid the filing fee, the above-titled action is hereby

DISMISSED without prejudice. The incomplete application to proceed in forma pauperis is

hereby DENIED. 

This order terminates Docket No. 3. 

The Clerk shall close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
