Case No. C17-354-RSM

KEY BANK et al.,

15

Defendants.

17

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis

18

(“IFP”) in the above-entitled action. Dkt. 1. After careful consideration of the application, the

19

governing law and the balance of the record, the Court ORDERS as follows:

20

(1)

Because plaintiff does not appear to have funds available to afford the $400.00

21

filing fee, he financially qualifies for IFP status pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Therefore,

22

plaintiff’s IFP application, Dkt. 1, is GRANTED. However, the undersigned recommends

23

review under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).
