Nicholson v. Haas Doc. 18 STEVEN NICHOLSON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION Petitioner, v. RANDALL HAAS, Civil Action No. 4:14-CV-10828 HONORABLE MARK A. GOLDSMITH UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Respondent. ______________________________________/ OPINION & ORDER DENYING THE MOTION FOR WAIVER OF FEES AND COSTS (Dkt. 14) On April 25, 2016, this Court held the petition for a writ of habeas corpus in abeyance and administratively closed the case (Dkt. 13). On September 7, 2018, Petitioner filed a Notice of Appeal (Dkt. 15). Petitioner on the same day filed a motion for waiver of fees and costs (Dkt. 14). The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit subsequently dismissed the appeal, because the court lacked jurisdiction since no final or appealable order had been entered by this Court when the petition was held in abeyance. Nicholson v. Haas, No. 18-2028 (6th Cir. Oct. 4, 2018) (Dkt. 17). In light of the fact that the Sixth Circuit has dismissed Petitioner’s appeal, any request by Petitioner to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is denied as moot. See Brown v. Dep’t of Corr. Oklahoma State Penitentiary, Warden, 597 F. App’x 960, 964 (10th Cir. 2014). Accordingly, Petitioner’s “Motion For Waiver of Fees and Costs” (Dkt. 14) is denied as moot. SO ORDERED. Dated: July 25, 2019 Detroit, Michigan s/Mark A. Goldsmith MARK A. GOLDSMITH United States District Judge Dockets.Justia.com
