STATE OF KANSAS, et al.
Defendants.

Case No. 21-2479-JAR

ORDER
The pro se plaintiff, Annette Brown, has moved to proceed with this action in forma
pauperis (“IFP application”) (ECF No. 3). On November 15, 2021, the undersigned U.S.
Magistrate Judge, James P. O’Hara, entered a report and recommendation, suggesting the
presiding U.S. District Judge, Julie A. Robinson, deny plaintiff=s IFP application because
plaintiff did not file a supplemental financial affidavit that would support the waiver of
court costs and fees (ECF No. 12). On November 18, 2021, plaintiff filed a motion for
reconsideration of the report and recommendation, which included the missing financial
information (ECF No. 13). The court now finds information in the record supports the
granting of plaintiff’s IFP application.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff’s IFP application (ECF No. 3) is
granted. If not previously provided, plaintiff is directed to provide the addresses of all
named defendants by no later than December 2, 2021, so that the Clerk of the Court may
proceed with service of process. The Clerk shall issue summons to the U.S. Marshal or
Deputy Marshal, who are appointed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3).
