US ATTORNEY GENERAL,
12-cv-278-bbc
Defendants.
Plaintiff Christine Porter has filed three proposed civil complaints. Plaintiff has asked
for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and has supported her request with an affidavit of
indigency. The standard for determining whether plaintiff qualifies for indigent status is the
following:
!
From plaintiff’s annual gross income, the court subtracts $3700 for each
dependent excluding the plaintiff.
!
If the balance is less than $16,000, the plaintiff may proceed without any
prepayment of fees and costs.
!
If the balance is greater than $16,000 but less than $32,000, the plaintiff must
prepay half the fees and costs.
!
If the balance is greater than $32,000, the plaintiff must prepay all fees and costs.
!
Substantial assets or debts require individual consideration.
In these cases, plaintiff’s annual income is less than $16,000, so she may proceed without
any prepayment of fees or costs.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s complaints are taken under advisement.
As soon as the court’s calendar permits, plaintiff’s complaints will be screened pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915 to determine whether the cases must be dismissed either because the
complaints are frivolous or malicious, fail to state a claim on which relief may be granted or seek
monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief. Plaintiff will be notified
promptly when such a decision has been made.
In the meantime, if plaintiff needs to
communicate with the court about these cases, she should be sure to write the case numbers
shown above on her communication.
Entered this 25th day of April, 2012.
