O R D E R

It is a rule of this court that if, after considering a prisoner’s affidavit for in forma

pauperistreatment, it is determined that the prisoner is financially able to pay the appropriate

filing fee, he must do so.

Upon consideration of the fact that Petitioner had an available balance of $146.64 in

his prison account at the time he filed this petition for habeas corpus relief, it is the opinion

of the Magistrate Judge that Petitioner is able to pay the applicable $5.00 filing fee. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:

1. On or before December 21, 2011, Petitioner shall forward to the Clerk of the Court

the $5.00 filing fee; and

2. Except to the extent that payment is required under this order, Petitioner’s motion

for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 2) is GRANTED. Petitioner is cautioned

that his failure to complywith this order will result in a Recommendation by the undersigned
