Filing 11
ORDER: Before the Court is Plaintiff Anthony Oliver's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #4 . The federal in forma pauperis statute is designed to ensure that indigent litigants have meaningful access to the federal courts. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 324 (1989). The statute allows a litigant to pursue a case in federal court without paying fees and costs if the litigant submits an affidavit that asserts an inability "to pay such fees or give security therefor," 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1), so long as the action is neither frivolous nor malicious, states a claim upon which relief may be granted, and does not seek monetary relief from a defendant who is immunefrom such relief. Id. 1915(e)(2)(B). To proceed on a lawsuit without paying the filing fee, "a plaintiff's income must be at or near the poverty level." Bulls v. Marsh, 1989 WL 51170, at *1 (N.D. Ill. May 5, 1989); see also Zaun v. Dobbin, 628 F.2d 990, 992 (7th Cir. 1980). To measure the poverty level, many judges use the Department of Health and Human Services' povertyguidelines (available at https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines). The poverty guidelines for 2019 set the poverty level for the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia based on the number of persons in the household. The federal poverty level for a single-person household is $12,490 per year. To assess Plaintiff's claim to indigency, the Court relies on the financialaffidavit that he filed along with his in forma pauperis application [4; 5]. Plaintiff represents that he currently is out of work due to a workplace injury. [4, at 11.] He only was employed one month before he was injured and earned approximately $1,100 per month in that position. [Id. at 1.] His only reportable asset is a vehicle worth approximately $15,000, which Plaintiff still is paying off. [Id. at 5, 8.] Accordingly, the Court grants his application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #4 . Summons shall issue. Because Plaintiff has filed a declaration indicating that he has retained a process server to serve the complaint [see 10], the Court is not directing the U.S. Marshal's office to effect service of Plaintiff's complaint at this time. Signed by the Honorable Robert M. Dow, Jr on 2/12/2019. Mailed notice (smm, )
