TEXT ORDER: The Petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis is denied. See Application at 1-5 (ECF docket entry 1-2). To proceed in forma pauperis, a petitioner must show that he is unable to pay the "pay court costs and also provide himself with life's necessities." See Jones v. Delaware State Police, 699 F. App'x 107, 107 (3d Cir. 2017). The Petitioner stated under penalty of perjury that he had no income over the past 12 months, no accounts or assets, no prior employers, and no expenses for himself and his family. See Application at 1-5 (answering zero for every category). Elsewhere, the Petitioner declared that he was regularly employed to support himself and his family. See Declaration at 1 (ECF docket entry 1-1). Given this inconsistency, the Court must deny his application to proceed in forma pauperis. Should the Petitioner wish to re-initiate this case, he may do so by (1) submitting a complete and truthful application to proceed in forma pauperis or (2) paying the various court fees required of civil litigants who are not proceeding in forma pauperis. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this Order upon the Petitioner by regular United States mail and administratively terminate this case. So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 9/3/26.
