UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK GREGORY WILLSON, Petitioner, 24-CV-9897 (LTS) -against- ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF FEE OR IFP APPLICATION FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS, Respondent. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: Petitioner, who is proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of habeas corpus. To proceed with a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in this court, a petitioner must either pay the $5.00 filing fee or, to request authorization to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP), submit a signed IFP application. See

, 1915. Petitioner submitted the petition without the filing fee or an IFP application. Within 30 days of the date of this order, Petitioner must either pay the $5.00 filing fee or complete and submit the attached IFP application. If Petitioner submits the IFP application, it should be labeled with docket number 24-CV-9897 (LTS). If the Court grants the IFP application, Petitioner will be permitted to proceed without prepayment of fees. See

(a)(1). No answer shall be required at this time. If Petitioner fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, the action will be dismissed without prejudice. The Court certifies under

(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States,

, 444–45 (1962) (holding that appellant demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED. Dated: January 3, 2025 New York, New York
