practices, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200.

On the same date, Robinson filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, a district court may authorize the commencement of a civil action in forma

pauperis if the court is satisfied that the would-be plaintiff cannot pay the filing fees necessary to

pursue the action. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). The Court is satisfied that Robinson cannot pay the

filing fee and that the instant action is not frivolous or without merit and therefore will grant his

application to proceed in forma pauperis. The Marshalls’ office shall affect service of process.
