RAJKEITH H. REED, Plaintiff, v. CAMDEN COUNTY JAIL, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
SIMANDLE, Chief District Judge
Plaintiff Rajkeith H. Reed seeks to bring this civil action in forma pauperis ("IFP"). IFP Application, Docket Entry 1-1.
According to the application submitted by Plaintiff, Plaintiff earns $3,500 per month. Id. After taking into consideration the listed monthly expenses, it appears Plaintiff is able to pay the $350 filing fee and $50 administrative fee. His application to proceed in forma pauperis is therefore denied. This matter shall be administratively terminated pending submission of the filing and administrative fees.
Plaintiff indicates he spends $3,150 per month; however, that number includes $500 per month on "recreation, entertainment, newspapers, magazines, etc." Plaintiff therefore can pay the filing and administrative fees without being deprived of life's necessities. --------
An appropriate order follows. December 9 , 2016
