corpus petitioner desires to prosecute the petition in forma pauperis, the petitioner shall file

an application to proceed [in forma pauperis] on a form approved by the Court, accompanied

by a certification of the warden or other appropriate officer of the institution in which the

petitioner is confined as to the amount of money or securities on deposit to the petitioner’s

credit.” If a petitioner has in excess of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) in his inmate account,

LRCiv 3.5(b) requires payment of the five dollar ($5.00) filing fee.

Petitioner’s Application To Proceed indicates that Petitioner has the sum of twenty-six

dollars and thirty-five cents ($26.35) in his inmate account. Accordingly, Petitioner’s

Application To Proceed will be denied pursuant to LRCiv 3.5(b), and Petitioner will be given

thirty (30) days from the filing date of this Order to pay the five dollar ($5.00) filing fee.

Cir.) (District Court may dismiss action for failure to comply with any order of the Court),

cert. denied, 506 U.S. 915 (1992).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

(1) That Petitioner’s “Application To Proceed In Forma Pauperis By A Prisoner

(Habeas)” filed with his Petition is DENIED;

(2) That Petitioner SHALL HAVE thirty (30) days from the filing date of this

Order to pay the five dollar ($5.00) filing fee;
