RECOMMENDING REVIEW

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON

CHASE BANK, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiffs, proceeding pro se, have filed an amended application to proceed in forma

17
18

pauperis (“IFP”) in the above-entitled action. Dkt. 3. After careful consideration of the

19

application, the governing law and the balance of the record, the Court ORDERS as follows:
(1)

20

Because plaintiffs do not appear to have funds available to afford the $400.00

21

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

22

Therefore, plaintiffs’ IFP application, Dkt. 3, is GRANTED. However, the undersigned

23

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