DANIEL CLARK WILLIAMS,
Plaintiff,

Civil Action
No. 16-7379 (JBS-AMD)

v.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
CAMDEN COUNTY JAIL,
Defendant.
SIMANDLE, Chief District Judge
Plaintiff Daniel Clark Williams seeks to bring this civil
action in forma pauperis (“IFP”), without prepayment of fees or
security. IFP Application, Docket Entry 1-1.
According to the application submitted by Plaintiff,
Plaintiff earns $2,440 per month, from wages and received
benefits, and has $400 in his checking accounts. Id. After
taking into consideration the listed monthly expenses,1 it
appears Plaintiff is able to pay the $350 filing fee and $50
administrative fee. His application to proceed in forma pauperis
is therefore denied. This matter shall be administratively
terminated pending submission of the filing and administrative
fees.

1

Plaintiff indicates he spends $2,120 per month; however, that
number includes $200 per month on “recreation, entertainment,
newspapers, magazines, etc.” Plaintiff therefore can pay the
filing and administrative fees without being deprived of life’s
necessities.

An appropriate order follows.
