In re Collins (Case No. 06-70812) 10/24/2006

The debtor filed an application for waiver of the Chapter 7 filing fee (application to proceed in forma pauperis) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(f).  The Court determined that the debtor's monthly income is less than 150% of the poverty guidelines published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services applicable to her family size.  In addition, the debtor's expenses for housing, transportation, and living expenses are reasonable in light of the I.R.S. guidelines.  Further, after analyzing the totality of the circumstances, the Court held that the debtor is unable to pay the filing fee in installments.  Therefore, the Court granted the debtor's application to waive the Chapter 7 filing fee.
