UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. LOS DAHDA (01), Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Daniel D. Crabtree, United States District Judge
This matter comes before the court on pro se defendant Los Dahda's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2944). Defendant seeks leave to file a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 without prepayment of fees. No filing fee is required for a petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. See United States v. Garcia, 164 Fed.Appx. 785, 786 (10th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, the court denies defendant's motion as moot.
Because Mr. Dahda proceeds pro se, the court construes his filings liberally and holds them to a less stringent standard than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers. See Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10th Cir. 1991). But the court does not assume the role of advocate for a pro se litigant. Id.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED BY THE COURT THAT defendant Los Dahda's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2944) is denied as moot.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
