ORDER GRANTING AMENDED
APPLICATION TO PROCEED
IN FORMA PAUPERIS

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Acting Commissioner Of Social Security,

Case No. 1:16-cv-00816-SMS

Defendant.

(Doc. 4)

On June 14, 2016, the Court denied Plaintiff Jenyne Thornton’s application to proceed in

16

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

17

whether Plaintiff was sufficiently impoverished to justify proceeding without paying the filing fee

18

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

19

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.
