Petitioner,
vs.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Respondent.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:12cv765-WHA
(WO)

ORDER
This case is before the court on the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. #8),
the Petitioner’s Objection (Doc. #11), and Petitioner’s Application to Proceed in District Court
Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Doc. #12).
It is hereby ORDERED that the Application (Doc. #12) is GRANTED.
Upon an independent evaluation and de novo review of this case, the court finds the
Objection to be without merit and is hereby OVERRULED. This court has no jurisdiction while
the Petitioner’s criminal conviction is on appeal. The court agrees with the Magistrate Judge
that this motion should be denied without prejudice, and that the Petitioner may file a new §
2255 motion when his appeal is concluded and jurisdiction is again vested in the district court.
Therefore, the court ADOPTS the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, and it is hereby
ORDERED that this 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion is DENIED without prejudice.
DONE this 6th day of November, 2012.
