ST. LOUIS CITY JAILS, et al. ,
Defendants,

No. 4:14CV2107 RLW

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the limited remand from the Court of Appeals to
determine whether plaintiff adequately alleged imminent danger at the time he filed his amended
complaint. Having reviewed the amended complaint, the Court finds that plaintiffs allegations
show he was in imminent danger. Plaintiff alleged that he was being denied adequate nutrition,
and he alleged that he suffered rapid weight loss and sickness as a result. Therefore, the Court
finds that plaintiff should be allowed to proceed in forma pauperis in these proceedings.
Accordingly,

\

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to submit a certified copy of this

Order to the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
