Date Filed Document Text
January 20, 2022 Mailed a copy of #4 Order Directing Payment of Fee or IFP Application to Perry Wells, Reg. 86769-054 at Federal Correctional Institution, F.C.I. Fort Dix (Camp), P.O. Box 2000, Joint Base MDL, NJ 08640. (kh)
January 19, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF FEE OR IFP APPLICATION: Petitioner, who is proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus. To proceed with a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in this Court, a petitioner must either pay the $5.00 filing fee or, submit a signed IFP application to request authorization to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP), that is, without prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. 1914, 1915. Petitioner submitted the petition without the filing fee or an IFP application. Within thirty days of the date of this order, Petitioner must either pay the $5.00 filing fee or complete and submit the attached IFP application. If Petitioner submits the IFP application, it should be labeled with docket number 22-CV-0233 (VEC). If the Court grants the IFP application, Petitioner will be permitted to proceed without prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1). No answer shall be required at this time. If Petitioner complies with this order, the case shall be processed in accordance with the procedures of the Clerk's Office. If Petitioner fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, the action will be dismissed. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that appellant demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue). The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order and the enclosed form to Petitioner and to note service on the docket. SO ORDERED. Filing Fee due by 2/18/2022. In Forma Pauperis (IFP) Application due by 2/18/2022. (Signed by Judge Valerie E. Caproni on 1/19/2022) (tg) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.
