Plaintiff,

Case No. C17-924-RAJ
ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
AND RECOMMENDATION FOR
REVIEW

HARPER & ROBERTS, et al.,
Defendants.

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

16

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

17

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

18

(1)

On her IFP application, plaintiff indicates that she is unemployed, has no cash

19

or savings, is currently receiving “state aid,” but also has “unsecured grants” worth $256

20

trillion. As the Court has granted Ms. McGlown IFP status on numerous occasions in the past,

21

despite her dubious representation that she has “over 1 trillion” in assets, the Court finds that

22

plaintiff does not actually have funds available to afford the $400.00 filing fee and that she

23

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

24

IFP application, Dkt. 1, is GRANTED. However, the undersigned recommends review under

25

28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).
