(doc. 12). We granted defendants' motion to dismiss on July 13, 2012 (doc. 8), and judgment

was entered the same day (doc. 9). Plaintiff filed his notice of appeal on July 27, 2012 (doc.

11).

Rule 24(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure requires a party seeking to

proceed in forma pauperis on appeal to file a motion in district court, attaching an affidavit

that: "(A) shows in the detail prescribed by Form 4 of the Appendix of Forms the party's

inability to pay or to give security for fees and costs; (B) claims an entitlement to redress; and

(C) states the issues that the party intends to present on appeal." Plaintiff has complied with

these requirements. And although he states that he has no monthly expenses, he also states

that he has no income and has a minor child relying on him for support. Plaintiff has made

a sufficient showing that he cannot pay the fees and costs of his appeal.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED GRANTING plaintiff's motion to appeal in forma

pauperis (doc. 12).

DATED this 30th day of July, 2012.
