April 18, 2024 Filing 6 Supplemental Document by Donavon Hampton. (sxf)
April 16, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ELECTRONIC ORDER AND NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY. Petitioner Donovan Hampton must address the following deficiency: It appears Petitioner seeks relief under 28 U.S.C. 2254, but did not file his construed 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 Petitioner's 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 May 16/2024. 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 4/16/2024) (chmb)
April 16, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ELECTRONIC NOTICE OF JUDICIAL SCREENING AND STANDING ORDER. Judicial screening of this case is pending. See Rule 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 habeas cases. The Court will order Respondent to file an answer, if necessary, after screening is complete. It is therefore ORDERED that (1) no motions for appointment of counsel shall be filed until the Court has completed the screening process, (2) all discovery in this case is stayed until Respondent is ordered to file an answer or until further order of the court, (3) no amendments or supplements to the habeas corpus petition shall be filed without prior Court approval, and (4) any motion to amend the habeas petition must be accompanied by a complete proposed amended petition on the required form. It is further ORDERED that Petitioner must promptly notify the Court in writing of any change of address by filing a written Notice of Change of Address with the Clerk of the Court. Failure to provide updated address information may result in the dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute or follow court order under Fed. R. Civ. 41(b). (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Renee Harris Toliver on 4/16/2024) (chmb)
