Plaintiff Courtney Erin Harrison Campbell (“Plaintiff”) filed the complaint in this action

19 challenging the Commissioner of Social Security’s denial of her application for benefits in the
20 United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division, on April
21 5, 2017. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee in this action and instead filed an
22 application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 on April 5, 2017. (ECF
23 No. 2.) On April 11, 2017, the Court ordered Plaintiff to either pay the $400 filing fee for this
24 action or complete and file an Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees
25 or Costs (Long Form) – AO 239 within twenty days. (ECF No. 4.) On May 1, 2017, Plaintiff
26 filed a motion to extend the time to file an amended application to proceed in forma pauperis to
27 May 8, 2017, which the Court granted. (ECF Nos. 5, 6.) Plaintiff did not file an application to
28 proceed without prepayment of fees so a second order issued on May 11, 2017, requiring

1

1 Plaintiff to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the
2 prior court orders. (ECF No. 7.) On May 16, 2017, Plaintiff filed a response stating that she
3 wanted to pay the filing fee rather than fill out the long form application. (ECF No. 8.) On May
4 17, 2017, the Court discharged the order to show cause and ordered Plaintiff to pay the filing fee
5 in this action within ten days from the date of entry of the order. (ECF No. 9.) On May 22,
6 2017, Plaintiff paid the filing fee.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

8

1.

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, filed April 5, 2017, is
DENIED as moot; and

9
2.

10

The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to issue the summons in this action.
