objections must be received in the office of the United States District Court Clerk no later

than eleven (11) days from receipt of the recommendations. A copy will be furnished to

Judge, you must, at the same time that you file your written objections, include the

II. Background

Plaintiff, an inmate confined to the Arkansas Department of Correction, Varner

Unit, filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (#1) under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on

May 7, 2007. On May 31, 2006, the Court entered an Order (#2) directing Petitioner to

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

pauperis with thirty days. The Order advised Petitioner that failure to do so could result

in dismissal of the case under Local Rule 5.5(c)(2). The Plaintiff has failed to comply

with the Court’s Order.

III. Conclusion

Because the Plaintiff has failed to pay the required filing fee or to submit an

application to proceed in forma pauperis, it is recommended that his Petition (#1) be

dismissed without prejudice. 

DATED this 9th day of July, 2007.
