- ilnd;;1:15-cv-06872_de7 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER: Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis along with a financial affidavit 2 . 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 no income, lives in a condominium owned by his father, and receives a limited amount of public assistance and funds from his father for utilities, 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). Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis 2 is therefore granted. Signed by the Honorable Maria Valdez on 8/25/2015. Mailed notice (aee, ) (Entered: 08/26/2015)" @default.
