October 29, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER GRANTING #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. A federal court is authorized under 28 U.S.C. sec. 1915(a)(1) to permit an indigent party to proceed in a civil action without prepaying the filing fee if the party "submits an affidavit that includes a statement of all assets [he] possesses [showing] that [he] is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor."
