CASE NO. C17-0861-RSL

v.
LAKE WHATCOM RESIDENTIAL AND
TREATMENT CENTER,

ORDER RE: APPLICATION TO
PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

12
Defendant.
13
14

Plaintiff submitted an amended application to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). (Dkt. 8.)

15

Because plaintiff does not appear to have funds available to afford the $400.00 filing fee, he

16

financially qualifies for IFP status pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Therefore, plaintiff’s

17

amended IFP application (Dkt. 8) is GRANTED. However, the undersigned recommends review

18

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). The Clerk of the Court is directed to send a copy of this Order

19

to plaintiff and to the assigned District Judge.

20

DATED this 14th day of August, 2017.
