CIVIL ACTION NO. 17-4000

ORDER
AND NOW, this 4th day of October, 2017, after considering the purported petition for a
writ of habeas corpus and an application to proceed in forma pauperis filed by the pro se
petitioner, Stanley J. Caterbone, on August 28, 2017 (Doc. Nos. 1, 1-1); and after considering the
various exhibits and documents the petitioner submitted in support of the petition (Doc. Nos. 2,
3, 4); and after considering the request for a hearing (Doc. No. 5); and for the reasons set forth in
the separately-filed memorandum opinion, it is hereby ORDERED as follows:
1.

The application to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 1-1) is GRANTED and

the petitioner has leave to proceed in forma pauperis;
2.

The petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. No. 1) is DISMISSED

WITHOUT PREJUDICE without a hearing;
3.

The petitioner’s request for a hearing (Doc. No. 5) is DENIED;

4.

There is no cause to issue a certificate of appealability insofar as the petitioner has

not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right; and

5.

The clerk of court shall CLOSE this case.

BY THE COURT:
