No. 4:18-CV-510 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon movant=s motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis.
Because there is no filing fee for a motion to recover property brought pursuant to
Fed.R.Crim.P.41(g), movant need not be granted in forma pauperis status in order to maintain this
action. Thus, to the extent that movant is seeking leave to initiate this action in forma pauperis, his
request is moot.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff=s motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis [Doc. #2] is DENIED AS MOOT.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that movant shall serve respondent with his motion to
recover property in accordance with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Dated this 5th day of April, 2018.

RODNEY W. SIPPEL
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
