Opinion
Civil No. 99-0093-B.
March 3, 2000
RECOMMENDED DECISION
Plaintiff has filed an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, together with a document entitled "A Court Request, please." Plaintiff is seeking a declaration from the Court that he is indigent, apparently thinking this declaration will prevent his having to comply with various requirements set by the City of Bangor Department of Health and Welfare as a condition to his receiving public assistance. The document is not a Complaint, and in forma pauperis status serves only to permit a plaintiff from proceeding with a court action without prepayment of the $150 filing fee. Inasmuch as it appears Plaintiff does not wish to proceed with a court action, nor is there any apparent basis upon which he could do so, there is no reason for the Court to grant his Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.
Conclusion
Accordingly, I recommend the Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis be DENIED, and this matter be DISMISSED in its entirety.
NOTICE

A responsive memorandum shall be filed within ten (10) days after the filing of the objection.
Failure to file a timely objection shall constitute a waiver of the right to de novo review by the district court and to appeal the district court's order.
