v.
HUSH COMMUNICATIONS CANADA
INC.

Defendant.

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

The Clerk of the Court is directed to send a copy of this Order to plaintiff and to the
District Judge.
DATED this 23rd day of February, 2018.
