Plaintiff Dominic Hanna filed a complaint on February 3, 2014, along with an

14

application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, through his proposed

15

guardian ad litem, Kathy Henderson. Ms. Henderson also submitted a petition to be appointed

16

Plaintiff's guardian ad litem. Good cause appears to appoint Kathy Henderson as Plaintiff's

17

guardian ad litem pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(c)(2). Additionally, the

18

application to proceed in forma pauperis demonstrates entitlement to proceed without

19

22

prepayment of fees.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1.

Petitioner Kathy Henderson is APPOINTED as Plaintiff's guardian ad litem; and

2.

Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis, made through Plaintiff's

23

guardian ad litem, is GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
