Case No. 1:14-CV-00766-LJO-SMS
ORDER DENYING APPLICATION
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

v.
MATTHEW L. POTTER,
Defendant.

9

(Doc. 2)

10
11

By motion filed May 20, 2014, Plaintiff Daniel Phelps seeks to proceed in forma pauperis.

12

Plaintiff submitted an incomplete declaration that is not sufficient to make the showing required by

13

28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Specifically, Plaintiff indicated, in response to question 3d, that he receives

14

disability or workers' compensation payments but failed to disclose the amount and frequency of

15
payments that he receives, and the amount he expects to continue to receive. In addition, Plaintiff's
16
17

response to question 6 is illegible.

18

Accordingly, the Court denies Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff may

19

submit a new application to proceed in forma pauperis in accordance with this order within thirty

20

(30) days. If the Clerk of Court does not receive either a revised in forma pauperis application or the

21
22

filing fee within thirty days of this order, this case will be dismissed without prejudice and without
further notice for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
