Defendant.

Plaintiff Debra Mills (“Plaintiff”) filed the complaint in this action on August 14, 2017,

18 challenging the Commissioner of Social Security’s denial of benefits. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff did
19 not pay the filing fee in this action and instead filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis
20 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF No. 2.) The Court found that Plaintiff’s application was
21 insufficient to determine if she was entitled to proceed in this action without prepayment of fees,
22 and Plaintiff was ordered to file a long form application. (ECF No. 3.) Plaintiff filed a long
23 form application on August 21, 2017. (ECF No. 4.)
24

The Court has reviewed the long form application and finds that it demonstrates

25 entitlement to proceed without prepayment of fees.
26

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

27

1.

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED;

28

2.

The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to issue a summons; and
