PAPERLESS ORDER denying without prejudice Esequiel Morales Riveron’s 6 Motion for Release. Riveron asks us to consider “whether, given the current circumstances, [his] habeas corpus petition should be granted and [his] release ordered.” Mot. [ECF No. 6] at 1. But, as we’ve already explained, “we cannot adjudicate Riveron’s Petition until he’s either paid the Clerk’s filing fee of $5.00 or submitted a legally sufficient motion to proceed in forma pauperis[.]” Order [ECF No. 4] at 2. We gave Riveron until October 16, 2026, to cure that deficiency and administratively closed this case. Ibid. Because the filing-fee issue remains unresolved, we DENY the Motion without prejudice as premature. The case shall remain CLOSED. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 10/13/2026.
