UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO EASTERN DIVISION CARLOS D. THOMPSON, : Case No. 2:22-cv-2042 Petitioner, : ‘ District Judge Sarah D. Morrison VS. "Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz WARDEN, PICKAWAY : CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION, : Respondent. :

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Petitioner, an inmate at the Pickaway Correctional Institution, has filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) in connection with a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. (Doc. 1). The total filing fee due in this habeas corpus action is $5.00. Petitioner’s application reveals that as of March 28, 2022, he had $13.33 on account to his credit, with average monthly state pay of $50.33. (See Doc. 1, PageID 8). The application thus demonstrates that petitioner has sufficient funds available to pay the full $5.00 filing fee in order to institute this action. Accordingly, it is RECOMMENDED that petitioner’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 1) be DENIED and petitioner be ordered to pay the full filing fee of $5.00 within thirty (30) days. Petitioner should also be notified that his failure to pay the full filing fee within thirty days will result in the dismissal of this action. IT ISSO RECOMMENDED.
