CASE NO. 8:14CV1
MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER
Petitioner has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254
(Filing No. 1), and a Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (Filing No. 2). 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.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: Petitioner’s Motion for Leave to Proceed in
Forma Pauperis (Filing No. 2) is granted.
DATED this 6th day of January, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
