- ilnd;;1:14-cv-01190_de7 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER: Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis along with a financial affidavit Doc. No. 2 . Under the in forma pauperis statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1915, Plaintiff may proceed in forma pauperis if he cannot pay the required courtfees and costs. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). "Although he must show that he cannot simultaneously pay court costs and provide for life's necessities, he 'need not be absolutely destitute in order to enjoy the benefit of § 1915." Garth- Richardson v. Univ. of Ill. at Chi., No. 03 C 5406, 2004 WL 726135, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 1, 2004) (quoting Zaun v. Dobbin, 628 F.2d 990, 992 (7th Cir.1980)). According to the affidavit, Plaintiff has no income or assets and lives with his mother, who has a limited income from social security payments. His mother also has some savings, and "[i]n evaluating the funds available to in forma pauperis movants, courts may consider the income or resources of interested persons, such as spouses and parents." Akkaraju v. Ashcroft, No. 03 C 6447, 2003 WL 22232969 at *4 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 26, 2003) (collecting cases). Nevertheless, the Court will exercise its discretion to find that Plaintiff has satisfied the showing of indigency in this case. Additionally, an initial review of the complaint does not reveal that it "(i) is frivolous or malicious; (ii) fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted; or (iii) seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief." See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis Doc. No. 2 is therefore granted. Signed by the Honorable Maria Valdez on 3/26/2014.
