- ilnd;;1:17-cv-06518_de9 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER: Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis along with a financial affidavit[Doc. No. 4 . Under the in forma pauperis statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1915, Plaintiff may proceed in forma pauperis if he cannot pay the required court fees 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 a very limited income from Social Security and a small amount of food assistance benefits, thus satisfying the showing of indigency. 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). Plaintiffs Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis Doc. No. 4 is therefore granted. Signed by the Honorable Maria Valdez on 11/3/2017. Mailed notice (eaa, ) (Entered: 11/03/2017)" @default.
