No. 4:16-CV-1627 JMB

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiff seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this civil action under
42 U.S.C. § 1983. After considering the financial information provided, the Court
finds that the plaintiff is unable to pay any portion of the filing fee.
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e), the Court is required to dismiss a complaint filed
in forma pauperis if it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted. In the instant case, plaintiff is a patient at the St. Louis
Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center. He alleges that the CEO of the institution has
embezzled $21,600 and has split the money with the Ku Klux Klan. Plaintiff’s
allegations, even if true, do not state a constitutional claim cognizable under 42
U.S.C. § 1983..
Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma
pauperis [ECF No. 2] is granted.
An order of dismissal will be filed separately.
Dated this 21st day of October, 2016.

CAROL E. JACKSON
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
