Plaintiffs,
v.

ORDER

HARRIS PASTIDES, et al.,
Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiffs are proceeding in this action pro se. This matter was accordingly referred to the

18

undersigned by E.D. Cal. 302(c)(21). Plaintiffs have requested leave to proceed in forma

19

pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. ECF Nos. 4, 5.

20

Both of plaintiffs’ IFP applications do not make the showing required by 28 U.S.C. §

21

1915(a)(1). According to the applications, plaintiffs’ “gross pay or wages” and “take-home pay

22

or wages” “fluctuates month to month.” ECF Nos. 4 at 2 ¶ 2, 5 at 2 ¶ 2. Plaintiffs are required to

23

disclose their income with particularity. To account for the plaintiffs’ fluctuating income, each

24

plaintiff may provide an average of their monthly income within the last 12 months.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1. Plaintiffs’ requests to proceed IFP (ECF Nos. 4, 5) are DENIED without prejudice to

27
28

their renewal with all entries on the form completed.
2. Plaintiffs are granted 30 days from the date of this order to renew the IFP applications
1

1

in proper form, or to pay the filing fee. Plaintiffs are cautioned that failure to timely renew the

2

IFPs in proper form, or to pay the filing fee, may result in a recommendation that this action be

3

dismissed.
