Biddy v. United States of America

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
CHARLOTTE DIVISION
CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:26-CV-00299-KDB-DCK
LORENZO BIDDY,
Plaintiff,
v. MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant.
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis
(Doc. No. 2). The Court has carefully considered this motion and Plaintiff’s sworn Application,
which details his financial circumstances. Based on that examination, the Court finds that
Plaintiff’s reasonable expected expenses exceed his expected income, and he does not otherwise
have sufficient assets with which to pay the filing fee. Further, upon an initial review, the Court
finds that the Complaint is not frivolous or malicious pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).
Therefore, Plaintiff’s Motion will be granted.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:
1 Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. No. 2) is GRANTED; and
2 Any recovery in this action will be subject to payment of fees and costs, including the
$405.00 filing fee.
SO ORDERED ADJUDGED AND DECREED.
