ORDER

Plaintiff, confined in the Special Management Unit - I, at the Arizona State Prison -

Eyman, in Florence, Arizona, has filed a pro se Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee, nor has he filed a proper

Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. The Court will allow thirty days for Petitioner

to cure this deficiency.

A. Failure to Pay Filing Fee

The filing fee for a habeas corpus action is $5.00. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914. An inmate

must pay the fee if he has more than $25.00 in his inmate account. LRCiv 3.5(b). If he has

less than $25.00 in his account, he may seek leave to proceed without payment of the filing

fee by filing an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Petitioner has not paid the $5.00

filing fee, nor has he filed an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. The Court will

allow Petitioner 30 days to cure this deficiency by either paying the fee or filing an
