TONY VALENTINO GRISSOM, Plaintiff, v. MODESTO POLICE DEPARTMENT, et al. Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
(ECF No. 5)
Plaintiff Tony Valentino Grissom, also known as Hawk Silverdragon Trust (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se in this action, filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 on August 13, 2021. (ECF No. 2.) On August 23, 2021, the Court denied Plaintiff's application and ordered Plaintiff to either file a long form application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee in this action. (ECF No. 4.) On September 15, 2021, Plaintiff filed a long form application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 5.) Plaintiff's application demonstrates entitlement to proceed without prepayment of fees. Notwithstanding this order, the Court does not direct that service be undertaken until the Court screens the complaint in due course and issues its screening order.
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
