ORDER

v.
THE PENTAGON, et al.,
Defendants.

14

Plaintiff has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in the above-

15

entitled action. (Dkt. # 1.) After the Court issued an order to show cause why Plaintiff’s

16

application should not be denied (dkt. # 3), Plaintiff submitted a letter further clarifying his

17

financial situation. (Dkt. # 4.) Based on Plaintiff’s IFP application as clarified, Plaintiff does not

18

appear to have funds available to afford the $405.00 filing fee. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s

19

application to proceed IFP (dkt. # 1) is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall note that leave to proceed as a

20

pauper does not necessarily entitle Plaintiff to a waiver of any other cost(s) of litigation.

21

The Clerk is directed to send copies of this Order to Plaintiff and to the Honorable John

22

H. Chun.
