MICHAEL HILDEBRAND, Petitioner, v. TRISHA CAMPBELL, Respondent.
ORDER VACATING JUDGMENT AND REOPENING ACTION
BETH LABSON FREEMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On March 21, 2024, Petitioner, a California state prisoner, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in this Court. Dkt. No. 1. On May 7, 2024, the Court dismissed this case for Petitioner's failure to file a complete in forma pauperis application or pay the $5.00 filing fee in the time provided. Dkt. Nos. 3, 4.
It has recently come to the Court's attention that Petitioner paid the fee on April 15, 2024, but the receipt was not docketed until May 14, 2024. Dkt. No. 5. Therefore, this case was improperly closed due to a clerical error. In the interest of justice, the Court will reopen this action.
The judgment entered on May 7, 2024, is hereby VACATED. Dkt. No. 4. The Clerk shall reopen this matter.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
