HABEAS CORPUS 28 U.S.C. § 2241

CIVIL ACTION NO. 1: 1O-CV-3490-TWT-GGB

ORDER and OPINION
By Order entered on February 4, 2011, this action was dismissed without prejudice based on Petitioner's failure to pay the required $5.00 filing fee. (Doc. Nos. 7,8.) The matter is before the Court on Petitioner's February 16,2011, payment of the filing fee, construed as a motion to reconsider and reopen this action. (211612011 Docket Entry.) Petitioner's prison account statement indicates that he directed prison officials to pay the filing fee from his prison account in November of 20 10, and that the delay was beyond Petitioner's control. (See Doc. No.6, Attach.) Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Petitioner's construed motion to reconsider and reopen is

GRANTED and this action is hereby REOPENED.
The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to resubmit this action to the assigned Magistrate Judge for further proceedings.
