ORDER AND JUDGMENT 

ROBERT L. HOECKER 

Clerk 

No. 87-1803 

(D.C. No. 87-X-181) 

(D. Colo.) 

Before McKAY, SEYMOUR, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this 

panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not 

materially assist in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. 

R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.l.8(c) and 27.1.2. The cause is 

therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. 

Plaintiff has applied for leave to proceed in forma pauperis 

on appeal. Upon consideration thereof, plaintiff is granted leave 

to proceed without prepayment of costs or fees. 

Plaintiff appeals from the district court's order denying his 

mot i on to proceed in forma pauperis in that court. The court 

den i ed plaintiff's motion on the ground that he was not indigent 

because a presentence report prepared in a prior criminal action

revealed that plaintiff had a monthly income of over $15,000 and 

assets worth at least $180,000. Subsequently, the district court 

denied plaintiff's motion for reconsideration on the basis of 

changed circumstances. 

Plaintiff presented a prima facie case of indigency in his 

affidavit. Furthermore, plaintiff satisfactorily explained why 

the information contained in the presentence report was no longer 

valid. Considering only plaintiff's current financial situation, 

plaintiff should be granted in forma pauperis status. 

The judgment of the United States District Court for the 

District of Colorado is REVERSED. The district court is directed 

to grant plaintiff's application for in forma pauperis status. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
