MEMORANDUM OPINION

On October 21, 2015, Petitioner Tracy A. Fussner (“Fussner”) filed a petition in the 

Southern District of Indiana for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, seeking to 

attack his federal sentence by way of the Savings Clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e). (Doc. 1). On 

October 26, 2015, the petition was transferred to this court. (Doc. 3). Because Fussner had 

neither paid the $5.00 filing fee nor applied to proceed in forma pauperis, the court issued a 

notice of deficient pleading on October 29, 2015, informing him that his failure to do one or the 

other within thirty days of the date of the notice would result in dismissal of his case for want of 

prosecution. (Doc. 6) (citing FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b)). That deadline has passed, and Fussner has 

not paid the filing fee or filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Accordingly, his 

petition is due to be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for want of prosecution. A 

separate order will be entered.

DONE and ORDERED this December 11, 2015.
