IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LISA WASHINGTON,

Plaintiff,

 v.

LOWE’S HIW INC., ET AL., 

Defendants. /

No. 3:14-cv-02984-CRB

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS 

On January 12, 2015, Lisa Washington filed in this Court a motion to proceed in

forma paurperis (“IFP”) on appeal. Mtn. IFP (dkt. 55). The Ninth Circuit will waive its

filing fee when an appellant has obtained IFP status from the district court. See 9th Cir. R. 3-

1; Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). A court may authorize a plaintiff to prosecute an action in federal

court without prepayment of fees or security if the plaintiff submits an affidavit showing that

he or she is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

Washington has submitted a declaration and affidavit that show to this Court’s

satisfaction an inability to pay or give security for fees and costs, claim an entitlement to

redress, and state the issues on appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a); 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

Accordingly, the motion to proceed IFP on appeal is hereby GRANTED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
