Plaintiff Apolonio Corona, Jr. (“Plaintiff”) filed the complaint in this action on August

18 21, 2017, challenging the Commissioner of Social Security’s denial of benefits. (ECF No. 1.)
19 Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee in this action and instead filed an application to proceed in
20 forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF No. 2.) The Court found that there were
21 statements in Plaintiff’s application that appeared inconsistent, and Plaintiff was ordered to file a
22 long form application. (ECF No. 3.) Plaintiff filed a long form application on August 30, 2017.

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

25 entitlement to proceed without prepayment of fees.

1.

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