- ilnd;;1:19-cv-01684_de7 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall. Plaintiff A869E71 application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis 5 is denied. Title 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) permits the Court to authorize Plaintiff to proceed in forma pauperis if he is unable to pay the mandated filing fee. The statute "is designed to ensure that indigent litigants have meaningful access to the federal courts." Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 324 (1989). Plaintiff is eligible to proceed in forma pauperis if paying the filing fee would prevent him from purchasing the necessities of life. Zaun v. Dobbin, 628 F.2d 990, 992 (7th Cir. 1980). Here, A869E71 represents he is currently employed and makes $3,168 a month in gross incomewell above the poverty level for a family of one. (Dkt. 5, at 1). A869E71 indicates that he has $1,000 in cash or in a bank account. (Id. at 2). He does not have anyone that is dependent on his support. (Id). Further, A869E71 has the means to obtain counsel as his attorney has filed an appearance in this matter. (Dkt. 3 ). Considering these factors, the Court finds payment of the filing fees in this action would not prevent him from purchasing the necessities of life and, therefore, denies his application for in forma pauperis status.
