Bracero v. Idaho Housing and Finance Association Doc. 6 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO MYRA BRACERO, Plaintiff, Case No. 1:15-cv-00213-BLW MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER v. IDAHO HOUSING AND FINANCE ASSOCIATION, Defendant. In order for any litigant to file a civil complaint in federal court, that litigant must either pay the filing fee in full at the time of filing or seek in forma pauperis status, which allows the litigant to pay the filing fee over time. In either case, the litigant must pay the full filing fee for having filed the complaint, regardless of whether that person’s case is eventually dismissed or is unsuccessful. Plaintiff has requested in forma pauperis status. To determine whether a party should be allowed to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915, a court should review the overall financial situation of the applicant, including all of the assets and liabilities of the applicant. See Zaun v. Dobbin, 628 F.2d 990, 99293 (7th Cir. 1980). See also Romesburg v.
