Case No. 16 C 7261

MEMORANDUM ORDER
On July 19, 2016 this Court issued its memorandum order (the "Order") that granted
conditionally the In Forma Pauperis Application ("Application") that plaintiff Matthew Sipp
("Sipp") had tendered on a Clerk's-Office-supplied form in support of his appeal from the denial
of his application for Social Security benefits. Sipp has now filed a Response to Memorandum
Order in which he has explained that although he has a substantial amount derived from a school
loan refund, his commitments against that amount will not leave him with sufficient funds to pay
the $400 filing fee for this case. Accordingly this Court finds that Sipp is indeed entitled to in
forma pauperis status, so that the conditional grant of the Application set out in the Order is
converted to an unconditional grant. 1

Because the Order was accompanied by the contemporaneous issuance of an initial
scheduling order, this action will proceed in the regular course on that scheduled September 27,
2016 date.
