PER CURIAM:
No. 96-3083 presents the threshold question whether the filing-fee provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PLRA") apply to proceedings under 28 U.S.C. Section(s) 2255. No. 96-5200 presents the same question with respect to 28 U.S.C. Section(s) 2254. We publish this opinion in order to express agreement with our sister circuits, which have uniformly held the PLRA inapplicable to such proceedings. See Smith v. Angelone, No. 96-7, 1997 WL 198075, at *2-4 (4th Cir. Apr. 24, 1997); Anderson v. Singletary, No. 96-2697, 1997 WL 188417 (11th Cir. Apr. 18, 1997); United States v. Simmonds, No. 96-3287, 1997 WL 177560, at *4-6 (10th Cir. Apr. 14, 1997); Naddi v. Hill, 106 F.3d 275, 277 (9th Cir. 1997); United States v. Cole, 101 F.3d 1076, 1077 (5th Cir. 1996); Santana v. United States, 98 F.3d 752, 755-56 (3d Cir. 1996); Martin v. United States, 96 F.3d 853, 855-56 (7th Cir. 1996); Reyes v. Keane, 90 F.3d 676, 678 (2d Cir. 1996).
We need not publish the disposition of the merits of appellants' appeals, which will issue in separate orders.
