MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This matter is before the court upon reconsideration of Petitioner’s Motion for
Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. (Filing No. 2.) The court previously assessed
an initial partial filing fee in the amount of $17.96. However, habeas corpus cases
attacking the legality of a person’s confinement only require the payment of a $5.00
filing fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:
After considering Petitioner’s financial status as shown in the records of this
court, provisional leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted and Petitioner is
relieved from paying the filing fee at this time. The clerk of court is directed to return
the payments received from Petitioner in the amounts of $17.96 and $10.66. The clerk
of court is further directed to send a copy of this order to the appropriate official at
Petitioner’s institution.
DATED this 10th day of November, 2016.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge
