Minute Order by Judge Jinsook Ohta: Petitioner Rigat Abrha Hagos filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP"). Dkt. 2. Civil Local Rule 3.2 requires a litigant seeking IFP status to submit an affidavit of assets demonstrating an inability to pay the filing fee to maintain a civil action. Because Petitioner has submitted an affidavit attesting that he has no assets or income, the Court finds that he has demonstrated an inability to pay the $5 filing fee. Therefore, the Court GRANTS the application to proceed IFP [Dkt. 2]. Signed by Judge Jinsook Ohta on 4/16/2026. (mk) (Entered: 04/16/2026)
