PER CURIAM:
Ronald Mu’Min Owens-Bey appeals the district court’s
order dismissing without prejudice his civil action alleging
wrongful discharge from his employment. The court reasoned that
Owens-Bey failed to comply with its prior order directing him to
file a copy of the right-to-sue letter issued by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission and either to pay the filing fee
or to apply to proceed in forma pauperis. Our review of the record
discloses that Owens-Bey timely filed a copy of the right-to-sue
letter and filed an affidavit declaring he was unemployed and owned
no property or automobiles. Because Owens-Bey complied with the
district court’s prior order, we vacate the court’s order
dismissing the action without prejudice and remand for further
proceedings. We grant Owens-Bey leave to proceed on appeal in
forma pauperis and dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
VACATED AND REMANDED
