Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit November 6, 2001, 01-2440 (Frank Malave v. Bill Hedrick, Warden U.S. Parole Commission)

PER CURIAM.

Federal inmate Frank Malave appeals the district court’s

1

order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition and denying him leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). We affirm the dismissal of his petition.

Before reaching the merits, we consider whether, in light of the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), Mr. Malave must pay the appellate filing fee.
