Petition, this Order, and the Opinion filed herewith; and it is further ORDERED that, in connection with the Bivens action, that the Clerk of the Court shall administratively terminate the Bivens case due to Plaintiff's failure to submit a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the $350.00 filing fee, without filing the complaint or assessing a filing fee; Plaintiff is informed that administrative termination is not a "dismissal" for purposes of the statute of limitations, and that if the case is reopened, it is not subject to the statute of limitations time bar if it was originally filed timely, see Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266 (1988)(prisoner mailbox rule); McDowell v. Delaware State Police, 88 F.3d 188, 191 (3d Cir. 1996); see also WilliamsGuice v.

of Claim Three and the Supplemental Petition without an answer and the record is not warranted; and it is further ORDERED that, within 30 days of the date of the entry of this Order, Respondent shall electronically file an answer which responds to the allegations of the Petition and the Supplemental Petition paragraph by paragraph; and it is further ORDERED that the answer shall state the statutory authority for Petitioner's detention, see 28 U.S.C. § 2243; and it is further ORDERED that Respondent shall electronically file with the answer certified copies of the administrative record and all documents relating to Petitioner's claim; and it is further ORDERED that, within 30 days of receipt of the answer, Petitioner shall file and serve a reply to the answer; and it is further ORDERED that, within 7 days of Petitioner's release, be it on parole or otherwise, Respondent shall electronically file a written notice of the same with the Clerk; and it is finally ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve this Order on Petitioner by regular mail.
