COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

(ECF No. 2)

17

Plaintiff Alexandra Katherine Esquivel filed a complaint on March 26, 2024, challenging

18 a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying an application for disability
19 benefits. Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee in this action and instead filed an application to
20 proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF No. 2.)
21

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,
23 pursuant to paragraph 1 of the scheduling order to be issued in this action, which provides that
24 service on the Defendant shall proceed under the Court’s e-service program.
