ORDER by Magistrate Judge Kevin R. Sweazea granting 2 Motion to Proceed under 28 U.S.C. 1915. (sls)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO

WOODROW DUNN, JR.,
Plaintiff,
vs.

No. CV 18-00441 RB/KRS

DA ERIK SCRAMBLEN,
Defendant.

ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO PROCEED PURSUANT TO 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Application for Free Process (Doc. 2),
Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees and Costs (Doc. 5), and
amended Application to Proceed in the District Court Without Prepaying Fees and Costs (Doc.
6) filed by Plaintiff Woodrow Dunn, Jr. Because the Court grants the application, the filing fee
for this civil rights complaint is $350.00. Based on the information about Plaintiff’s financial
status, the Court will waive an initial partial payment pursuant to § 1915(b)(1). Plaintiff is still
required to pay the full amount of the filing fee pursuant to § 1915(b)(1). Failure to comply with
this order may result in dismissal of the complaint without further notice.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Application for Free Process (Doc. 2),
Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees and Costs (Doc. 5), and
amended Application to Proceed in the District Court Without Prepaying Fees and Costs (Doc.
6) filed by Plaintiff Woodrow Dunn, Jr. are GRANTED, and the initial payment is WAIVED;
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff file monthly financial certificates and make
monthly payments of twenty percent (20%) of the preceding month’s income credited to his

1

account until the fee is paid or show cause why the payment should be excused; and the Clerk is
directed to provide Plaintiff with two copies of the post-filing financial certificate.
