Plaintiff Lorie Ann Williams (“Plaintiff”), appearing pro se in this action, filed the

18 complaint in this action on May 11, 2017, challenging the Commissioner of Social Security’s
19 denial of benefits. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee in this action and instead
20 filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. However,
21 Plaintiff’s application was not adequately completed.

Plaintiff indicated that she does not

22 receive money from any source, but states that she contributes $350.00 to the support of her
23 grandmother thorough AFDC.

Accordingly, the Court will order Plaintiff to complete and file an Application to Proceed

25 in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form) – AO 239. If Plaintiff is
26 unwilling to complete and submit the long form application, Plaintiff must pay the filing fee in
27 full.
