Opinion
Case No. 10-20705-D-5
03-18-2013
UNITED STATES, Plaintiff, v. MAZEN MAZRAANI, Defendant.
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE
APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
Mazen Mazraani pleaded guilty to using a fire to commit fraud. He received his sentence less than four months ago, and his direct appeal, No. 13-1060 (6th Cir.), is pending, indeed, has barely begun; yet he submits a form with boxes checked signaling his wish to "appeal" in forma pauperis the denial of a non-existent "motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255." Presumably Mazraani's counsel has used a form unsuited for his intended aim. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the application to proceed in forma pauperis [Dkt. # 601] is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to the submission of a coherent, properly formatted motion or application.
