Case No. 1:16-cv-00782-SMS
ORDER DENYING APPLICATION
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

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

(Doc. 2)

Defendant.

By motion filed June 5, 2016, Plaintiff Jeniffer Savein Phou, by her attorney, Jacqueline A.

18

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

19

incomplete. Specifically, Plaintiff provided no answers concerning her incarceration and

20

employment status. Absent complete information regarding Plaintiff’s financial situation, the Court

21

cannot evaluate whether Plaintiff is sufficiently impoverished to justify proceeding without paying

22

the filing fee for her lawsuit.

23

Additionally, the Court notes Plaintiff did not identify the proper court, provide a case

24

number, and declare her status as the petitioner/plaintiff/movant on her application. If Plaintiff

25

elects to submit an amended application, as this order permits her to do, she must provide a complete

26

application.

27
28

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff
shall either submit an amended and complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the

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

3

without further notice.
