ORDER

13

Plaintiff Linda Lee Schlyter filed a complaint on November 9, 2016, along with an

14

15 application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Docs. 1 & 3.) Plaintiff’s
16 application fails to set forth answers to questions numbered 4 through 8 regarding amount of cash
17 or money in a checking or savings account (question number 4), items of value owned (question
18 number 5), regular monthly expenses (question number 6), dependents (question number 7), and
19 debts (question number 8). Therefore, the Court is unable to determine at this time whether
20 Plaintiff is entitled to proceed without prepayment of fees in this action.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within 28 days from the date of this

21

22 Order, Plaintiff shall file an amended application to proceed in forma pauperis that fully responds
23 to all applicable questions, including questions numbered 4 through 8.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
