RONALD A. SMITH, Plaintiff, v. AUBURN POLICE DEPARTMENT, et al., Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
S. KATE VAUGHAN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in this matter. Dkt. 1. Because Plaintiff does not appear to have funds available to afford the $402.00 filing fee, Plaintiff qualifies for IFP status pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Plaintiff's IFP application, Dkt. 1, is therefore GRANTED. The Clerk is directed to send copies of this Order to the parties and to the assigned District Judge.
