RICHARD G. KOPF, Senior District Judge.

Habeas corpus cases attacking the legality of a person's confinement require the payment of a $5.00 filing fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). However, after considering Petitioner's financial status as shown in the records of this court, leave to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted and Petitioner is relieved from paying the filing fee.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: Petitioner's Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (Filing Nos. 4 and 5) is granted.

The court will conduct this review in its normal course of business.
