ORDER TO PROCEED
IN FORMA PAUPERIS

This matter is before the Court on the Plaintiff’s affidavit and m otion for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis (Filing No. 2) filed through counsel. Based on a review of the
application and affidavit, the Court finds that payment of any fees and the posting of any
bond should be waived, and the Plaintiff should be permitted to proceed in forma pauperis.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:

The Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Filing No. 2) is
granted, and payment of costs and fees is not required for the filing of the
appeal;

2.

If requested to do so, the U.S. Marshal will serve process in this case without
prepayment of fees.

In making such a request, Plaintiff’s counsel must

complete the Marshal’s Form 285, to be submitted to the Marshal with the
completed summons forms and copies of the Complaint; and
3.

This order is entered without prejudice to the Court later entering an order
taxing costs in this case. No one, including the Plaintiff, is relieved by this
order from the obligation to pay or to reimburse taxable costs after the
completion of this action.
