See also Holly v. Wexford Health Servs., Inc., 339 F. App'x 633, 63536 (7th Cir. 2009) ("A district court may allow an indigent plaintiff to file a lawsuit without prepaying the required fees if the plaintiff submits an affidavit with a statement of his assets and attests that he is too poor to pay."). The #2 petition to waive all costs and fees does not include affidavits stating petitioners' assets or that petitioners are unable to pay the costs of the proceeding so it is DENIED. Petitioners may properly move to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee by January 4, 2024. The Court requires use of Form AO239.
