WARDEN FCI FAIRTON,
:
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
:
Respondent.
:
_________________________________________ :
Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The Court previously denied his application to proceed in forma
pauperis under Local Civil Rule 81.2(c ) as the certification submitted by petitioner indicated
the greatest amount on deposit in his prison account in the past six months was $496.02. Mr.
Heyward wrote to the Court indicating the certification was incorrect and provided full account
statements.
The Court has reviewed Mr. Heyward’s submissions and it appears the prison official
who filled out the certification mistakenly inserted the total amount of deposits for the past 6
months in the field designated for the highest amount on deposit. The Court will therefore grant
Mr. Hayward’s in forma pauperis application.
Accordingly, IT IS this

18th

day of December, 2017,

ORDERED that petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED; and
it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve this order on petitioner by regular U.S. mail.
