November 29, 2018 Filing 3 Second MOTION for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis filed by Andrew J. Smith. (Attachments: #1 Inmate Account Statement)(Potter, Carrie)
November 16, 2018 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER re #2 MOTION for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis filed by Andrew J. Smith. Petitioner's IFP Application is incomplete since he has failed to provide a certified copy of his inmate account statement as required, and his claim that such requirement is unconstitutional is not legally supported. In this action, Petitioner describes himself as a "victim of illegal incarceration" and seeks to vacate an allegedly unconstitutional state criminal conviction and resulting prison sentence. Thus, this action is properly treated as one seeking habeas corpus relief under 28 USC section 2254 and the required filing fee to initiate such an action is $5.00. If he wishes to purse this action, Petitioner shall, within 30 days, either (1) pay the $5.00 filing fee; or (2) properly support his IFP Application by filing a certified copy of his inmate account statement as required. Failure by Petitioner to comply with this Order will result in dismissal of this action without prejudice. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Lincoln D. Almond on 11/16/2018. (Noel, Jeannine)
