IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VOLTAIRE WILLIAMS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-07-2580 LEW DAD P

vs.

D.K. SISTO, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

On December 11, 2007, this court ordered petitioner to file an in forma pauperis

affidavit or pay the appropriate filing fee for this action. On December 19, 2007, petitioner paid

the filing fee. Due to a docketing error, the court was unaware that petitioner had paid the filing

fee and issued findings and recommendations, recommending that this action be dismissed. The

court will vacate the findings and recommendations, and the action will proceed in accordance

with this order. 

Since petitioner may be entitled to the requested relief if the claimed violation of

constitutional rights is proved, respondents will be directed to file a response to petitioner’s

application.
