Glen Pickett v. Trooper Quanzell Lambert, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of New Jersey denies Glen Pickett’s application to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The court finds that Plaintiff’s monthly expenses do not exceed his monthly income and therefore concludes that he has not shown an inability to pay the costs of litigation. The order directs the Clerk to close the file and permits reopening upon payment of the $405 filing fee within 14 days.

Holdings

1. Plaintiff failed to establish that he was unable to pay the costs of litigation because his reported monthly expenses did not exceed his monthly income; therefore, the application to proceed in forma pauperis was denied.

Questions Presented

1. Whether plaintiff demonstrated sufficient indigence to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1).
