HASSON HEDGEPETH, Petitioner, v. R. MADDEN, Respondent.
ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS (DOCKET NO. 29)
BETH LABSON FREEMAN United States District Judge
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, challenging his state conviction. Petitioner has recently filed an “affidavit in support of motion to proceed as a poor person.” Dkt. No. 29. It appears that this matter was reopened without a decision on Petitioner's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). See Dkt. No. 14 at 36-41. The application and supporting documents indicate that IFP status is warranted. Id. Accordingly, Petitioner's application for leave to proceed IFP is GRANTED. No. fee is due.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
