ROBERT LINDBLAD, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF MILLBRAE, et al., Defendants.


ORDER DENYING MOTION TO SUBSIDIZE EXPENDITURES

RE: DKT. NO. 6

Alex G. Tse, United States Magistrate Judge

Because Robert Lindblad cannot pay court costs and still afford the necessities of life, the Court has permitted him to proceed in this action without paying a filing fee. See Dkt. 7. Separately, Lindblad has asked the Court to subsidize his litigation expenses, including expenses for “lab testing, document retrieval, and experts.” Dkt. 6 ¶ 15. This request is denied.

As explained earlier today, Lindblad's complaint comes within the definition of frivolous, under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), and the undersigned has recommended that a district judge dismiss the complaint without leave to amend. See Dkt. 9. If that recommendation is adopted, Lindblad's case will be over, and there won't be any need to subsidize his future litigation expenses. If the undersigned's recommendation isn't adopted, Lindblad may renew his motion; but at this time and on the current record, his motion is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
