- ilnd;;1:20-cv-01881_de17 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: Plaintiff has filed an In Forma Pauperis application along with a financial affidavit 16 . Under the in forma pauperis statute, 28 U.S.C. section 1915, Plaintiff may proceed in forma pauperis if she cannot pay the required court fees and costs. See 28 U.S.C. section 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 [section] 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 salary, savings, or other sources of income, 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. section 1915(e)(2)(B). Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed In Forma Pauperis 16 is therefore granted. Mailed notice (lp, ) (Entered: 06/10/2020)" @default.
