Kedria Watson Petitioner v. William Reubart, et al., Respondents
ORDER EXTENDING TIME TO PAY FILING FEE
U.S. District Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey
In this habeas case under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, I entered an order requiring Petitioner Kedria Watson to have the $5.00 filing fee sent to the court by October 30, 2023. On October 12, 2023, the court received a letter from Watson, claiming that she had sent a check for the fee on September 20, 2023. With the letter, she included a pink slip that she refers to as a receipt for that transaction.
ECF No. 3.
ECF No. 4.
I note that the pink slip is not a receipt from this court and, instead, appears to be a carbon copy of an “Inmate Account Transaction Request” authorizing the Nevada Department of Corrections” to charge Watson's account in the amount of $5.00. I also note that the “NDOC,” not this court, is identified as the payee. Watson is still required to pay the filing fee, but due to her apparent misapprehension, I give her more time to do so.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Watson has until November 15, 2023, to comply with my prior order (ECF No. 3).
