CASE NO. 4:13CV3004

MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

Petitioner has filed a Petition and an Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (Filing Nos. 1 and 10), and a Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma
Pauperis (Filing No. 8).

Habeas corpus cases attacking the legality of a person’s

confinement require the payment of a $5.00 fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). However, pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1)-(2), and after considering Petitioner’s financial status as shown
in the records of this court, provisional leave to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted
and Petitioner is relieved from paying the fee at this time.
DATED this 4th day of March, 2013.
BY THE COURT:

s/Laurie Smith Camp
Chief United States District Judge
