Case No. 1:16-cv-00041-SMS
ORDER DENYING APPLICATION
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

v.
CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Acting Commissioner Of Social Security,

(Doc. 2)

Defendant.

By motion filed January 12, 2016, Plaintiff Pressley Dwane Wiggins, by his attorney, Vijay

18

Jagdish Patel, seeks to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff submitted an application which is devoid

19

of information, aside from a date and signature. Absent information regarding Plaintiff’s financial

20

situation, the Court cannot evaluate whether Plaintiff is sufficiently impoverished to justify

21

proceeding without paying the filing fee for his lawsuit.
If Plaintiff elects to submit an amended application, as this order permits him to do, he must

22
23

provide a completed application, providing all of the requested information.
Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff

24
25

shall either submit an amended and complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the

26

1

filing fee to the Clerk of the Court within thirty (30) days of this order. If Plaintiff does not pay the

2

filing fee or submit an amended application, the Court shall dismiss the case for lack of prosecution

without further notice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
