§ 1915. On April 4, 2005, and April 11, 2005, plaintiff submitted applications to proceed in forma

pauperis. Due to plaintiff's compliance with the order of February 22, 2005, the findings and

recommendation shall be vacated. In addition, the application to proceed in forma pauperis shall be

granted.
