I. Discussion

 On November 7, 2016, Petitioner, Latrone A. Hicks (“Hicks”) filed a Petition 

for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Doc. 1. Because Hicks 

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 November 9, 2016, the Court entered an Order giving Hicks until 

December 12, 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. 2. The Court 

advised Hicks 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, Hicks 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 Hicks’s failure to 

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