- ilnd;;1:17-cv-04192_de6 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: This case is before the Court on Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis 4 . The federal in forma pauperis statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1915, is designed to ensure indigent litigants meaningful access to the federal courts while simultaneously preventing indigent litigants from filing frivolous, malicious, or repetitive lawsuits. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 324 (1989). Before authorizing a litigant to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court must first determine that the litigant is unable to pay the $400 filing fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). This determination is made through a review of the litigants assets, as stated in an affidavit submitted to the Court. Plaintiff's application indicates that he is employed and earns $1,450 per month; that he or someone else living with him made an additional $28,000 in salary within the past 12 months; that he received an additional $2,000 in disability or workers' compensation within the past 12 months; and that he is not married but does have some financial responsibility for his two daughters. Even with the two dependents, Plaintiff's income and assets place him well above the level required for the Court to find him indigent. Accordingly, Plaintiff's application is denied. If Plaintiff wishes to proceed with this case, he must file a revised in forma pauperis application or pay the filing fee by 6/19/17, or this case will be summarily dismissed.
