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
