MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

Respondent.
This matter is before the court on Petitioner’s Motion for Leave to Proceed
in Forma Pauperis (“IFP”). (Filing No. 6.) 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). As indicated in Petitioner’s motion and the court’s records, Petitioner has
already paid the $5.00 fee. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Leave to Proceed IFP (filing
no. 6) is denied as moot. 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 and will address Petitioner’s other pending motions at
that time.
Dated this 6th day of April, 2018.
