16

Jennifer Elizabeth Cook seeks to proceed in forma pauperis in this action. (Doc. 2)

17

The Court may authorize the commencement of an action without prepayment of fees “by a person

18

who submits an affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such person . . . possesses [and] that the

19

20

Plaintiff failed to sign the affidavit.

Accordingly, Plaintiff SHALL file an amended motion to proceed in forma pauperis that is

22

signed under penalty of perjury—affirming that the information provided was true and correct— no
