Plaintiff,

ORDER

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,

16

Defendant.

18

Presently pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

19

(ECF No. 2.) After reviewing plaintiff’s motion, the court finds that it needs additional

20

information to adjudicate the motion. More specifically, plaintiff’s motion indicates that she has

21

no income and is completely supported by her boyfriend. Because plaintiff appears to be living in

22

a single household with her boyfriend, who fully supports her, the court finds it necessary to

23

consider the entire household income for purposes of resolving the motion to proceed in forma

24

pauperis.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1. Within 28 days of this order, plaintiff shall file a supplemental declaration in support

27

of her motion to proceed in forma pauperis, outlining: (a) plaintiff’s boyfriend’s

28

monthly income from employment; (b) plaintiff’s boyfriend’s income from other
1

1

sources in the past 12 months (identifying the sources and amounts); (c) the amount of

2

funds held by plaintiff’s boyfriend in checking or savings accounts; and (d) any real

3

estate, stocks, bonds, securities, other financial instruments, automobiles, or any other

4

things of value owned by plaintiff’s boyfriend, stating their respective values.

5

2. Alternatively, plaintiff may pay the filing fee within 28 days of this order.

6

3. Failure to timely submit the requested information will result in denial of the motion

to proceed in forma pauperis.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
