Case No. 1:16-cv-00502-SMS
ORDER DENYING APPLICATION
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

v.

13

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Acting Commissioner Of Social Security,

14

Defendant.

(Doc. 2)

16

By motion filed April 8, 2016, Plaintiff Isabel Maria Lucio, by her attorney, Young Chul

17

Cho, seeks to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff submitted an application which is incomplete.

18

On the application, Plaintiff was to provide information concerning any cash or checking or savings

19

accounts. Absent complete information regarding Plaintiff’s financial situation, the Court cannot

20

evaluate whether Plaintiff is sufficiently impoverished to justify proceeding without paying the filing

21

fee for her lawsuit.

22

Additionally, the Court notes that Plaintiff did not include the case number in the caption of

23

her application. If Plaintiff elects to submit an amended application, as this order permits her to do,

24

she must provide complete case information in the caption of the application.

25

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff

26

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

27

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

28

1

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

2

without further notice.
