benefits and no other income; his only bank account holds $79;

his only assets are two motorcycles and a car, all inoperable,

with a combined value of $50; that plaintiff’s expenses total

$790 monthly and he has no dependents. 

Plaintiff’s affidavit demonstrates that because of

poverty he cannot pay or give security for court costs and still

be able to provide herself with the necessities of life. See

Adkins v. E.I. Dupont de Nemours & Co., 335 U.S. 331, 339 (1948). 

Accordingly, plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis

in pursuit of his appeal is granted.

So ordered.
