CHRISTOPHER BASS-EL, :

Petitioner, :

vs. : CIVIL ACTION 16-0239-CB-C

DISTRICT ATTORNEY, MOBILE :

COUNTY,

Respondent. :

ORDER

A petition has been filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254 by an Alabama prisoner (Doc. 1). 

However, Petitioner’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is not on this Court’s form (Doc. 2), 

and is, therefore, DENIED. See Local Rule 83.9(d)(1) (requiring a pro se litigant to file his 

pleadings on this Court’s forms). Petitioner, therefore, is ORDERED by June 14, 2016, to file 

this Court’s form for a motion to proceed without prepayment of fees or to pay the required 

filing fee. Failure to comply with this order within the prescribed time or to notify the Court of a 

change of address will result in the dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute and to obey 

the Court’s order.

The Clerk is DIRECTED to send Petitioner the form for a Motion to Proceed Without 

Prepayment of Fees. 

DONE this the 24th day of May, 2016.
