002102P.pdf   11/15/2000  Kevin R. Lee  v.  McDonald's Corp.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-2102
   Eastern District of Missouri   
Civil case - civil rights. On rehearing of an order affirming the district court's ruling dismissing Lee's action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(e)(2)(A), the court finds it was an abuse of discretion to dismiss Lee's suit on the ground he had failed to disclose his wife's assets when he sought in forma pauperis status; Lee's financial status must be determined independent of his wife's assets to which she has denied him access; dismissal of claims must be based on whether the allegation of poverty is true and not on whether Lee misstated his assets in his affidavit, so long as his misstatements were made in good faith; case remanded for further proceedings as to whether Lee is indigent and entitled to proceed in forma pauperis.
