MEMORANDUM ORDER
Pending before the court is a pro se application to proceed in the district court without prepaying fees filed by L.M. Parker, TTEE, on behalf of Plaintiff HHM Trust. The application must be denied. The United States Supreme Court held that only a "natural person" may qualify for treatment in forma pauperis. Rowland v. California Men's Colony, 506 U.S. 194 (1993). A trust cannot proceed in forma pauperis. The application (ECF No. 1) is DENIED.
SO ORDERED this 23rd day of March, 2018.
