On March 13, 2006, the clerk of this court wrote Cantu and informed him that he appeared to be seeking release from confinement and that a writ of habeas corpus would be the appropriate form of relief.  The clerk further informed Cantu that neither an affidavit of inability to pay costs nor the required filing fee had been filed.  The clerk directed Cantu to respond on or before March 28, 2006.  There has been no response to our letter of March 13.
