UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSE LUIS MEJIA, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

ERIC HOLDER, et al., 

Respondents. 

No. 2:14-cv-1089-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a detainee of the United States Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“I.C.E.”), proceeds pro se with a petition for a writ of 

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, claiming that the length of his ongoing detention by 

I.C.E. raises constitutional concerns. 

In order to properly commence this action, petitioner must either pay the required filing 

fee or file an application requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. 

§§ 1914(a), 1915(a). The court will not issue any orders granting or denying relief until this 

action has been properly commenced. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Petitioner is granted thirty days from the date of service of this order to either submit 

an application to proceed in forma pauperis, or the filing fee in the amount of $5.00. 

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