ORDER OF THE COURT ON RECOMMENDATION REGARDING
REQUEST TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL
Considering the record in this case and the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, the
Court hereby finds and orders:
( )

The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is GRANTED.

(X)

The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is DENIED for the
following reasons:
(X)

Plaintiff is not a pauper. A review of the financial information provided by
plaintiff shows a monthly income of $3,257.00 and monthly expenses of
approximately $2,263.00. Given this financial information showing monthly
income exceeding monthly expenses by $994.00, the Court concludes that
plaintiff will not suffer undue financial hardship after payment of the $505.00
filing fee. See Prows v. Kastner, 842 F.2d 138, 140 (5th Cir. 1988).

Although this Court has denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal,
plaintiff may challenge the denial by filing a separate motion to proceed in forma
pauperis on appeal with the Clerk of Court, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit, within thirty days after service of the notice required by Fed. R. App. P.
24(a)(4). See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5).

SIGNED this 22nd day of March, 2016.
