Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

Before the Court is Petitioner's Motion to Rule on the Clerk (Docket # 9)(identified as "Motion

for Reconsideration" on the Court's Docket) wherein Petitioner requests the Court rescind the Clerk's

Order (Docket # 5) directing withdrawals from Petitioner's Arkansas Department of Corrections

prisoner account pursuant to 28 U.S.C.§ 1915(b)(1). The withdrawals were ordered to pay the civil

case filing fee of $350.00 in this matter. The Clerk's Order was improvidently entered as this is a

habeas corpus proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C.§ 2254 and no filing fee is required in this matter.1

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, Petitioner's Motion to Rule on the Clerk (Docket #

9)(identified as Motion for Reconsideration on the Court's Docket) is GRANTED and the Clerk's Order

(Docket # 5) directing collection of the civil case filing fee is withdrawn. The Clerk of Court is directed

to notify the appropriate officials with the Arkansas Department of Corrections to assure that further

collection efforts pursuant to § 1915(b)(1) are discontinued.
