ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

Case No. 1:16-cv-00041-SMS

On January 14, 2016, the Court denied Plaintiff Pressley Dwane Wiggins’s application to

16

proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. 3. Because the application was incomplete, the Court could not

17

evaluate whether Plaintiff was sufficiently impoverished to justify proceeding without paying the

18

filing fee for his lawsuit. Plaintiff was ordered to pay the filing fee or re-file a completed

19

application. Plaintiff has since submitted an amended application which sets forth the showing

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Doc. 4.
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. The Clerk
of Court is directed to issue the summons and new case documents. The United States Marshal is
directed to serve a copy of the complaint, summons, and this order upon the defendant if requested by the
plaintiff.
