ORDER

13

Plaintiffs Timothy S. Tofaute and David Dixon, pro se litigants, filed a complaint on

14

15 October 28, 2016, along with applications to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
16 § 1915. (Docs. 1, 2 & 3.) Plaintiff Timothy S. Tofaute’s application indicates that he receives
17 disability compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, but he does not indicate
18 the amount he has received and is receiving. Therefore, the Court is unable to determine at this
19 time whether Plaintiff Timothy S. Tofaute is entitled to proceed without prepayment of fees in this
20 action.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within 28 days from the date of this

21

22 Order, Plaintiff Timothy S. Tofaute shall file an amended application to proceed in forma
23 pauperis that fully responds to all applicable questions, including indicating the amount he has
24 received and is receiving in VA disability compensation.
25
IT IS SO ORDERED.
