This matter is before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Motion to Reconsider the Court’s Order
filed on June 6, 2012. ECF No. 9. For the reasons discussed below, the Court grants Plaintiff’s
Motion to Reconsider and re-opens the case.
I.

ordered Plaintiff to either pay the full filing fee or complete and submit the accompanying
Financial Application within 30 days. ECF No. 2. On April 18, Plaintiff filed an unidentified
form. ECF No. 3.

or complete and submit a Financial Application. ECF No. 7. Plaintiff timely filed a Motion to
