Movant.

----oo0oo----

Kimberly Olson moves the court for an order permitting

her to file her Objection to Discharge and Adversarial Complaint

without requiring her to pay the $250 filing fee. (See

Bankruptcy Court Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, available at

http://www.caeb.uscourts.gov/data/formpubs/EDC.002-034.pdf). She

has filed a declaration that states “I am without income other

than SSI, which provides me $730.00 per month.” (Supp. Olson

afford to pay the filing fee, (id. ¶ 3), and states her belief

that she is entitled to relief. (Olson Decl. ¶¶ 3, 4) (stating

that the Kepreoses “committed numerous and willful torts against

me”). 

This declaration is sufficient under 28 U.S.C. §

1915(a)(1), which reads: 

Subject to subsection (b) [applying to prisoners only], any

court of the United States may authorize the commencement,

prosecution or defense of any suit, action or proceeding,

civil or criminal, or appeal therein, without prepayment of

fees or security therefor, by a person who submits an

affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such

prisoner [sic] possesses [and] that the person is unable to

pay such fees or give security therefor. Such affidavit

shall state the nature of the action, defense or appeal and

affiant’s belief that the person is entitled to redress.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that movant’s motion to proceed

in forma pauperis be, and the same hereby is, GRANTED.
