Gray (ID 2000084262) v. Easley

1
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS
MARVIN L. GRAY, JR.,
Petitioner,
v. 	CASE NO. 25-3197-JWL
DAN SCHNURR,
Respondent.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is a pro se petition for federal habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 filed by
Petitioner and state prisoner Marvin L. Gray, Jr., who is currently incarcerated at Hutchinson
Correctional Facility (HCF) in Hutchinson, Kansas. When Petitioner submitted his petition for
filing, he also submitted a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, but he did not include
the financial statement that is required by federal statute to support the motion. (Doc. 2.) The Court
deferred ruling on the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and granted Petitioner time
in which to either submit the financial statement or pay the filing fee. (Docs. 3 and 6.) Petitioner
has now paid the filing fee.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis
(Doc. 2) is denied as moot because Petitioner has paid the filing fee. The Court will begin the
required review of the amended petition and will issue additional orders as necessary.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: 	This 20th day of October, 2025, at Kansas City, Kansas.
