JOSEPH R. CARAVELLO, Plaintiff, v. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, Defendant.
ORDER
FEUERSTEIN, District Judge:
On August 14, 2012, pro se plaintiff Joseph R. Caravello ("plaintiff") commenced this employment discrimination action against defendant, United Parcel Service, ("defendant"), pursuant to, inter alia, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as codified, 42 U.S.C. §§12112-12117 (amended by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, Pub. L. No. 110-325 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Pub. L. No. 102-166), accompanied by an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff's financial status, as set forth in his declaration in support of his application to proceed in forma pauperis, qualifies him to commence this action without prepayment of the filing fees. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Accordingly, plaintiffs application to proceed in forma pauperis is granted.
The Clerk of Court is directed to forward copies of the summons, complaint and this Order to the United States Marshal Service for service upon the defendant without prepayment of fees, and to serve notice of entry of this Order in accordance with Rule 77(d)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by mailing a copy of this Order to the pro se plaintiff at his last known address, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(c).
SO ORDERED.
