Order on In Forma Pauperis Status - The plaintiff's motions to proceed in forma pauperis, dkts. #9 and #14 , are granted. Although the plaintiff is excused from pre-paying the full filing fee, he still must pay the three hundred and fifty dollar ($350.00) filing fee when able. The assessment of even an initial partial filing fee is waived because the plaintiff has no assets and no means by which to pay a partial filing fee. Accordingly, no initial partial filing fee is due at this time. (See Order.) Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 2/10/2023. Copy to Plaintiff via US mail. (JSR)
