I. INTRODUCTION
On August 13, 2023, Petitioner Liana Karapetyan, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, constructively filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See Dkt. 1. The Court made multiple unsuccessful attempts to serve Petitioner with a notice of deficiency, which instructed her to either pay the filing fee or request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) within thirty days, otherwise the case may be dismissed. See Dkts, 2, 4, 6. On November 13, 2023, the District Judge ordered Respondent to file a Status Report indicating whether Petitioner was still in federal custody of any kind and whether Respondent has any current address for Petitioner. See Dkt. 7. Respondent did so on November 27, noting that Petitioner had been released from the Residential Reentry Center to serve a term of Supervised
Release and providing Petitioner’s forwarding address. See Dkt. 9. The next day, the Court mailed a copy of the notice of deficiency to the address provided by Respondent. The mail was not returned to sender, suggesting that Petitioner received it. Nevertheless, Petitioner has still not paid the filing fee or requested to proceed IFP.
