ORDER
Petitioner Ludale Randy Jones, having been denied habeas relief, has moved for permission to appeal in forma pauperis. Both his financial affidavit and prison trust fund account statement attest that he currently lacks funds to pay filing fees and like expenses. The motion is in accordance with federal precedent allowing habeas petitioners to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal under the terms of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). See Kincade v. Sparkman, 117 F.3d 949, 951-52 (6th Cir. 1997); United States v. Simmonds, 111 F.3d 737, 741-43 (10th Cir. 1997).
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Petitioner Ludale Randy Jones' Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (Dkt. No. 61) is GRANTED.
