By motion filed July 25, 2014, Plaintiff Robert Shepard, by his attorney Jacqueline A.
Forslund, seeks to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff submitted an incomplete declaration,

18
neglecting to specify his last employment in paragraph 2 and failing to include full information
19
20

regarding his source(s) of support. (The Court does not credit Plaintiff's disclosure that his only

21

sources of support are $189.00 in monthly food stamp allotments and $2100.00 ann7ual school

22

allotment.) If Plaintiff is homeless, a full-time student, or otherwise dependent on others for his

23

support, the declaration should disclose that fact.

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiffs’ motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff
shall either submit an amended and complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the

26
filing fee to the Clerk of Court within thirty (30) days of this order. In the event that Plaintiff does
