ORDER DENYING APPLICATION
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
PENDING COMPLETION OF MOTION
CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting

(Doc. 5)

Defendant.

By motion filed December 30, 2014, Plaintiff James McConnell sought to proceed in forma
17
pauperis. Although Plaintiff submitted an application that would have made the showing required
18
by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), the application was not completed. Accordingly, the Court denied the
19
application and directed Plaintiff to amend the application and re-submit it with a completed caption,
20
21
inclusion of Plaintiff's name within the declaration, and inclusion of the date of signature. On
January 9, 2015, Plaintiff submitted an amended application on which the caption remained
22
23
24
incomplete.
The Court notes that although Plaintiff is represented by counsel, an incomplete form has
25
been submitted twice. Counsel is admonished carefully to review the next application before filing it
26
since the Court will extend no further opportunities to amend the form.
27
28
Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiffs’ motion to proceed in forma pauperis without
prejudice and GRANTS Plaintiff leave to submit an amended declaration in which the caption has
1
1
been completed with the parties' names and the case number. Plaintiff shall submit a completed
2
application or shall pay the filing fee in full within thirty days of this order, or this case shall be
3
dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute.
