This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Rules of this Court,
and the referral order of the presiding District Judge.

Now before the Court is Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis with

Pursuant to Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure:

costs;
(B) claims an entitlement to redress; and
(C) states the issues that the party intends to present on appeal.
Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(1).
The Court has reviewed the Plaintiff’s Application, the exhibits attached thereto, and the
Plaintiff’s Notice of Appeal. The Court finds that Plaintiff has complied with Rule 24 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Based upon the foregoing, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s
Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis with Supporting Documentation is well-taken, and it
is GRANTED. The Plaintiff will be permitted to proceed on appeal to the Court of Appeals in
the above cases without prepayment of fees.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
