ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO FILE AN
AMENDED MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA
PAUPERIS
Plaintiff Robbin Dee Rowe seeks to proceed in forma pauperis in this action for judicial
18
review of the administrative decision denyin an application for Social Security benefits. (Doc. 2) The
19
Court may authorize the commencement of an action without prepayment of fees “by a person who
20
submits an affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such person . . . possesses [and] that the
21
person is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The Court has
22
reviewed the application and the information provided is insufficient to determine whether Plaintiff
23
satisfies the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
24
According to the application, Plaintiff is currently employed, and has received income from a
25
“[b]usiness, profession or other self-employment” during the last twelve months. (Doc. 2 at 1)
26
However, Plaintiff fails to prove any information regarding “the amount of [the] take-home salary or
27
wages and pay period,” or to “give the name and address of [the] employer,” as is directed on the
28
application. (Id.) In addition, Plaintiff fails to identify the amount of money received in the past
1
1
twelve months or the amount Plaintiff expects “to continue to receive.” (See id.) Consequently, the
2
application is incomplete, and the Court is unable to determine whether Plaintiff satisfies the
3
requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
4
Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED to file, within fourteen days of this order, a complete
5
application that includes the information identified above, and as indicated on the application form.
6
Upon receipt of this information, the Court will resume consideration of Plaintiff’s motion to proceed
7
in forma pauperis. Plaintiff is warned that failure to comply with this order may result in denial of the
8
application to proceed in forma pauperis.
