MEMORANDUM OPINION

On July 15, 2015, Petitioner Skylar Miles Boswell (“Boswell”) filed a petition for a writ 

of habeas corpus. (Doc. 1). Along with his petition, he included a motion for leave to proceed 

in forma pauperis, including a note stating that the bookkeeper had refused to complete his 

account statement form. (Doc. 2). The magistrate judge instructed him to file, within thirty 

days, a new application to proceed in forma pauperis including either a certified copy of his 

prison account statements or an affidavit under oath stating who he had requested the statement 

from, when he had requested it, and what their response was. (Doc. 3). Boswell was also 

advised that his filed petition was missing pages four through nine and did not include any 

claims; therefore, he was instructed to file an amended petition. (Id.). On August 13, 2015, 

Boswell filed a new motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and included the certified 

account statement. (Doc. 4). The magistrate judge denied that motion because the prison 

account statement showed monthly deposits averaging just over $40. (Doc. 5).

More than thirty days has passed since either of those orders, and Boswell has not paid 

the filing fee or otherwise prosecuted this action. Accordingly, Boswell’s petition is due to be 

DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. A separate order will be entered.
