ORDER
THIS MATTER comes before the Court upon the Plaintiff’s “Response
to Order of the Court,” which the Court construes as an Amended Application
to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs [Doc. 4].
The Plaintiff seeks to proceed with this civil action without having to
prepay the costs associated with prosecuting the matter. [Doc. 4]. Upon
review of the Amended Application, it appears that the Plaintiff lacks the
resources with which to pay the required filing fee. Accordingly, the Court
finds that the Plaintiff’s Application should be granted.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Plaintiff’s Amended
Application [Doc. 4] is GRANTED, and the Plaintiff shall be allowed to
proceed without prepayment of the filing fee or giving security therefor.
