ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
_________________________________
Before L U C E R O , M A T H E S O N , and B A C H A R A C H , Circuit Judges.
_________________________________
The parties have not requested oral argument, and it would not
materially aid our consideration of the appeal. See Fed. R. App. P.
34(a)(2)(C); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). Thus, we have decided the appeal
based on the briefs.
Our order and judgment does not constitute binding precedent
except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral
estoppel. Fed. R. App. P. 32.1(a); 10th Cir. R. 32.1(A).
I.
II.
present action, claiming that the limitations on the new law constituted
denials of due process and equal protection. 1 With these claims, Mr.
Dawson requested leave to avoid prepayment of the filing fee.
The district court denied relief from the prepayment obligation and
dismissed the claims. Mr. Dawson renews his request for leave to proceed
without prepayment of the filing fee and appeals the dismissal.
We grant Mr. Dawson relief from the prepayment obligation but
affirm the dismissal.
III.
held that 1983, rather than 2254, was the proper vehicle
for Mr. Dawsons claims, and
did not violate Mr. Dawsons right to due process or equal protection.
