No. 4:14CV1101 AGF

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Before the Court is movant’s motion for reconsideration of the Court’s June 20, 2014
Order denying movant’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Because movant states in his
motion for reconsideration that he seeks in forma pauperis status for the sole purpose of seeking
appointment of counsel in this matter, the Court will grant movant’s request for reconsideration
and vacate its prior Order. Furthermore, after reviewing movant’s financial affidavit, the Court
will grant movant’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that movant’s motion for reconsideration of the Court’s
June 20, 2014 Order denying movant’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. #7] is
GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court’s June 20, 2014 Order denying movant
leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. #5] is VACATED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that movant’s request to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc.
#2] is GRANTED, insofar as such status may be used, at a later date, to support movant’s
request for appointment of counsel.
Dated this 5th day of August, 2014.
