MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER
Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Filing No. 1) and two Motions
for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (Filing Nos. 4 and 6). Habeas corpus cases
attacking the legality of a person’s confinement require the payment of a $5.00 filing fee.
28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). However, after considering Petitioner’s financial status as shown in
the records of this court (see inmate trust account statement at Filing No. 7), provisional
leave to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted and Petitioner is relieved from paying
the filing fee at this time. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED: Petitioner’s Motions for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis
(Filing Nos. 4 and 6) are granted. The next step in this case is for the court to conduct a
preliminary review of the habeas corpus petition in accordance with Rule 4 of the Rules
Governing Section 2254 cases. The court will conduct this review in its normal course of
business.
DATED this 8th day of January, 2015.
BY THE COURT:
s/Laurie Smith Camp
