ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(JFLC1)

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 may deny in forma pauperis

status, however, if it appears from the face of the proposed pleading that the action is frivolous or

without merit. O’Loughlin v. Doe, 920 F.2d 614, 616 (9th Cir. 1990); Tripati v. First National

Bank & Trust, 821 F.2d 1368, 1370 (9th Cir. 1987). Without expressing any opinion as to

whether Plaintiff can afford to pay the filing fee, the Court will DENY without prejudice his

application to proceed in forma pauperis on the ground that the complaint fails to state a

cognizable claim. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
