ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE
AMENDED APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN
FORMA PAUPERIS

17

Plaintiff Edward L. Hall (“Plaintiff”) is proceeding pro se in this action. Plaintiff filed his

18

Complaint on May 2, 2011 (Doc. 1), along with a motion to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

19

U.S.C. § 1915. (Doc. 3).

20

According to his application, Plaintiff is not employed, has no income of any kind, and has no

21

cash or savings. Further, Plaintiff states he possesses no items of value, such as real estate or an

22

automobile. Id. at 1-2. Plaintiff indicates that he has no debts or financial obligations, or regular

23

monthly expenses, such as housing, transportation or utilities. Id. at 4. Therefore, the Court is unable

24

to determine how Plaintiff is supporting himself, or if he is dependent upon another person who would

25

be able to pay the filing fee.

26

Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED to file, within fourteen days of this order, an application that

27

includes information on how Plaintiff is supporting himself, or his dependence on another. Upon receipt

28

of this information, the Court will resume consideration of Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma
