I. Discussion

 On October 3, 2016, Petitioner, Ryan Michael Francis (“Francis”) filed a 

Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.1

 Doc. 1. 

Because Francis did not pay the $5.00 filing fee or file a Motion to Proceed In 

Forma Pauperis, the Court did not order service of the Petition. 

 On October 20, 2016, the Court entered an Order giving Francis until 

November 23, 2016, to either: (1) pay the $5.00 filing fee in full; or (2) a file a 

properly completed Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Doc. 4. The 

Court advised Francis that if he failed “to timely and properly comply with this 

Order,” his habeas action would “be dismissed, without prejudice, pursuant to 

Local Rule 5.5(c)(2).” Id. 

 As of the date of this Recommended Disposition, Francis has neither paid 

the filing fee nor filed an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Thus, the 

Court recommends that this case be dismissed, without prejudice, due to Francis’s 

failure to comply with Local Rule 5.5(c)(2).

 Francis challenges a disciplinary he received at the Pensacola, Florida Federal Prison Camp. 

He seeks reinstatement of lost good time credit while in custody and a credit on his probationary 

sentence.
