January 11, 2024 Filing 6 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: This matter has been reassigned to Magistrate Judge Maria Valdez for ruling on final disposition of this case. Plaintiff's brief in support of reversing or remanding the decision subject to review is due within 60 days of the filing of the administrative record; the Social Security Administration's responsive brief is due 45 days after plaintiff's brief is filed; and Plaintiff's reply brief, if any, is due 14 days after defendant's brief is filed. Mailed notice (lp, )
January 11, 2024 Filing 5 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: Plaintiff has filed an Application to Proceed Without Prepaying Fees or Costs and a Financial Affidavit #2 . Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1915, a plaintiff may proceed without prepaying if they 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 or assets, 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 Application to Proceed Without Prepaying Fees or Costs #2 is therefore granted. Mailed notice (lp, )
