Plaintiff has filed a motion seeking to proceed without payment of fees and costs, which motion includes a sworn statement as to plaintiff's current financial circumstances. See Doc. #2 . Plaintiff has completed the required information. Plaintiff asserts that he is unable to afford to pay fees and costs, having no income and no assets. See generally id. at 3-4. At this stage, such allegations are sufficient to establish that plaintiff is unable to pay the ordinary filing fees required by the Court. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1). Accordingly, plaintiff's #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. The Court notes that plaintiff's motion was filed using a now-outdated version of the motion and financial affidavit. The form motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and accompanying affidavit were updated on September 17, 2020, and are available on the District's website. Going forward, counsel shall use that form motion and affidavit when his client seeks to commence an action without payment of fees and costs. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 4/9/2021. (Katz, S.)
