Plaintiff,
v.
NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY,
Defendant.

No. 4:12-CV-0980 FRB

ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Upon
consideration of the information in plaintiff’s financial affidavit, the Court finds that plaintiff is able
to pay the filing fee. Plaintiff’s monthly income is $7,500 and he owns $400,000 in property value.
Additionally, he has $2,000 cash on hand. As a result, the Court will order plaintiff to pay the
statutory filing fee of $350.00 within thirty days. If plaintiff fails to pay the filing fee as ordered, the
Court will dismiss this case without prejudice.
The Court notes that if plaintiff pays the filing fee, plaintiff will be responsible for serving the
summons and the complaint upon the defendant or requesting the defendant to waive service of
summons. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c), (d). Plaintiff may seek guidance on serving the defendant from
the Office of the Clerk.
Furthermore, because plaintiff does not qualify to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court will
deny his motion to appoint counsel.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis is
DENIED. [Doc. 2]

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall pay the filing fee of $350.00 within thirty
(30) days of the date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to appoint counsel is DENIED. [Doc.
4]
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to pay the filing fee within thirty (30)
days, this case shall be dismissed without prejudice.
