RAFAEL J. PETITPHAIT, Plaintiff, v. OFFICER CHRISTENSEN, #1632; OFFICER WILLIAMSON, #1635; and OMAHA POLICE DEPARTMENT, Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiff Rafael J. Petitphait, a non-prisoner, filed a Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis. (Filing No. 2.) Upon review of Plaintiff's Motion, the court finds that Plaintiff is financially eligible to proceed in forma pauperis.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted, and the Complaint shall be filed without payment of fees. Plaintiff is advised that the next step in his case will be for the court to conduct an initial review of his claims to determine whether summary dismissal is appropriate under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). The court will conduct this initial review in its normal course of business.
Dated this 21st day of March, 2019.
BY THE COURT:
