purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue for Attorney Fanya
Young’s pending appeal herein. Attorney Young stated in a sworn declaration that her estimated
“gross income” was “approximately $20,000 at best for the year 2014.” She has “personal
property totaling approximately $5,000.” She earns approximately “$1,200” per a month by
providing legal services. Her monthly bills total approximately $1,463 for student loans, rent,
utilities, and supplies. She has no assets, bank accounts, or real property (Dkt. No. 69).
Attorney Young does not fit the profile of the typical indigent plaintiff who would suffer a

material difficulty in paying for perfecting her appeal. Nevertheless, based on her sworn
representations, this order finds that she may proceed in forma pauperis on her pending appeal
herein.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 22, 2014.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
