Date Filed Document Text
July 27, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ELECTRONIC ORDER AND NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY. Petitioner DeMarcus Wright must address the following deficiency: It appears Petitioner seeks relief under 28 U.S.C. 2254, but did not file his petition for writ of habeas corpus on the court-approved form. See N.D. TEX. L.R. 5.4 and MISC. ORD. 13 (requiring inmates to file petitions for writ of habeas corpus on the court-approved form). Nor did he pay the required $5.00 filing fee or file a proper request to proceed in forma pauperis along with a certified statement of the balance in Petitioners inmate trust account. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(2); N.D. TEX. MISC. ORD. 14 (requiring inmates to file motions to proceed in forma pauperis on the court-approved form). Therefore, insofar as Petitioner seeks habeas corpus relief, he is ORDERED to (1) complete and file a petition on the form used in this Court for actions filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254, and (2) pay the $5.00 filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis with the required certificate of inmate trust account, by August 25, 2021. If Petitioner did not intend to file a petition for writ of habeas corpus at this time, he may file a Notice of Dismissal and the case will be closed. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER WILL RESULT IN THE DISMISSAL OF THIS ACTION PURSUANT TO FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 41(b). Forms necessary to comply with this order are available in the law library of the prison unit in which Petitioner is confined. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Renee Harris Toliver on 7/27/2021) (chmb)
