1Per curiam
Miguel Castillo (“Castillo”) filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the mail room at the Cook County Department of Corrections had opened three letters addressed to him from the Federal Courthouse out of his presence, despite the fact that they bore a warning against such openings. Castillo sought to file in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The district court denied leave to file in forma pauperis and sua sponte dismissed Castillo's complaint with prejudice. Castillo filed a timely appeal. We have jurisdiction to decide this appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We reverse.
