Plaintiff Steven Macias filed a complaint on November 13, 2023, challenging a final

18 decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying an application for disability benefits.

The Court finds Plaintiff’s application demonstrates entitlement to proceed without

22 prepayment of fees. Therefore, the Court shall order that the complaint in this action be served,

24 service on the Defendant shall proceed under the Court’s e-service program.

1.

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is GRANTED;
