DEMARIE DIAN REEDY, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER
Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. Chief United States District Judge
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff Demarie Dian Reedy's (“Reedy”) application to proceed in forma pauperis (Filing No. 2). See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1) (allowing the Court to “authorize the commencement, prosecution or defense of any suit, action or proceeding, civil or criminal, or appeal therein, without prepayment of fees or security therefor”). In this action (Filing No. 1), Reedy challenges the defendant Commissioner of Social Security's denial of her application for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (setting forth the process and standards for judicial review of such a decision).
Reedy's application details her and her husband's monthly income, assets, and expenses, and their responsibility for four dependents. Based on that account, and Reedy's description consistent with those details that her family's expenses exceed their income, the Court grants her application and permits her to proceed in forma pauperis.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
