ORDER
KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.
Presently before the court is petitioner's request to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 16.) As petitioner previously paid the $5.00 filing fee herein (see ECF No. 1), petitioner's request will be denied without prejudice to its renewal at a future stage of the proceedings.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 16) is denied without prejudice.
