Rockman, representing himself, filed a complaint against OpenAI and other defendants in the Northern District of California. The court held that Rockman demonstrated he cannot afford the filing fee and granted his in forma pauperis application.
Under the order, the U.S. Marshal will serve the complaint on defendants without requiring Rockman to pay service fees upfront.
United States Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim signed the order on April 14, directing the clerk to issue summons in the case.
The court document does not detail the specific claims against OpenAI or identify the other defendants named in the lawsuit.
