Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. MC-H-95-0004

- - - - - - - - - -

November 20, 1995

Before KING, SMITH and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Gloria Trevino Turner appeals the district court's order denying her application to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). Because Turner's affidavit and financial information indicate that she is not able to meet the costs of this litigation without undue hardship, the decision denying IFP is REVERSED. See Adkins v. E.I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., 335 U.S. 331, 339 (1948);

*

Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions that have no precedential value and merely decide particular cases on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession." Pursuant to that Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published.

No. 95-20132
