October 23, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER: Motion for Leave to Appear Pro Hac Vice #2 on behalf of the plaintiff is granted. Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis along with a financial affidavit #4 . Under the in forma pauperis statute, 28 U.S.C. section 1915, Plaintiff may proceed in forma pauperis if she cannot pay the required court fees and costs. See 28 U.S.C. section 1915(a)(1). "Although he must show that he cannot simultaneously pay court costs and provide for life's necessities, he 'need not be absolutely destitute in order to enjoy the benefit of [section] 1915.'" Garth-Richardson v. Univ. of Ill. at Chi., No. 03 C 5406, 2004 WL 726135, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 1, 2004) (quoting Zaun v. Dobbin, 628 F.2d 990, 992 (7th Cir. 1980)). According to the affidavit, Plaintiff has no income and only a small amount of public assistance benefits each month, thus satisfying the showing of indigency. Additionally, an initial review of the complaint does not reveal that it "(i) is frivolous or malicious; (ii) fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted; or (iii) seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief." See 28 U.S.C. section 1915(e)(2)(B). Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis #4 is therefore granted. Signed by the Honorable Maria Valdez on 10/23/2019. Mailed notice(pk, )
