January 11, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 7 TEXT ORDER Plaintiff applied to proceed in the District Court without prepaying fees or costs. [ECF No. 2]. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915, the court construes this application as a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. 1915. A review of the motion reveals that Plaintiff should be relieved of the obligation to prepay the full filing fee. Therefore, Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted, subject to the court's right to require a payment if his financial condition changes, and to tax fees and costs against Plaintiff at the conclusion of this case if the court finds the case to be without merit. See Flint v. Haynes, 651 F.2d 970, 972-74 (4th Cir. 1981). Signed by Magistrate Judge Shiva V. Hodges on 1/11/2024. (lbak)
