MEMORANDUM ORDER

v.
CHRISTOPHER CHRISTIE, et al.,
Defendants.

THIS MATTER comes before the Court by application filed by Plaintiff, Gerald White
Hill, to re-open his case. (ECF No.4.) It appears that:
1. On April 7, 2014, Plaintiff filed a Complaint without submitting the requisite filing fee
or a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP"). (ECF No. 1.) Consequently,
this Court issued an Order on April 28, 2014, administratively terminating the action. Plaintiff
was informed by the Order that he could re-open his case upon submission of the filing fee or a
complete IFP application. (ECF No.3.)
2. On May 19, 2014, Plaintiff submitted a complete IFP application as directed by the
Court's March 5, 2014 Order, with a letter requesting that this action be re-opened. (ECF No.4.)
