ROBERT HARDEN, Petitioner, v. STATE OF NEBRASKA, DOUG PETERSON, Attorney General; SCOTT FRAKES, Director of the Nebraska Department of Corrections; and TODD WASMER, Warden of Tecumseh States Correctional Institute; Respondents.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the court on Petitioner's Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis ("IFP"). (Filing No. 4.) 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 the court's records, Petitioner has paid the $5.00 fee. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion for Leave to Proceed IFP (filing no. 4) 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.
Dated this 5th day of December, 2019.
BY THE COURT:
