To properly bring a habeas corpus action, all claims must be included on the
Court’s form, Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Under 28 U.S.C. § 2254
(AO2254) (available online or at the Clerk’s office).5 Additionally, the Petitioner
must pay the $5.00 filing fee or submit a fully completed and signed Application to
Waive Prepayment of the Filing Fee (Form PS10).6 Mr. Stansberry has not
included either, so this filing is deficient.
The Court takes Judicial Notice7 that Mr. Stansberry has recently filed four
other cases with this Court that have also not included the filing fee or an
application to waive prepayment of the filing fee.8 The Orders notifying Mr.
Stansberry of the filings were deficient have all been returned to the Court as
undeliverable mail. In the interests of judicial economy, the Court must dismiss
