No. 2:17-cv-0950 AC

v.

ORDER

COMMISSIONER OF SSA,

15

Defendant.

17

This matter was referred to the undersigned by E.D. Cal. 302(c)(21). Plaintiff has

18

requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. ECF No. 2.
Plaintiff’s IFP application does not make the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1).

19
20

Plaintiff’s affidavit is incomplete, in that it fails to completely answer from what source, if any,

21

plaintiff has received money “within the past twelve months.” ECF No. 2 at 2 ¶ 3. Specifically,

22

plaintiff fails to disclose whether or not, in the past 12 months, plaintiff has received money from

23

any “business, profession or form of self-employment;” “rent payments, interest or dividends;”

24

“pensions annuities or life insurance payments;” and “gifts or inheritances.” See id.
Moreover, according to the application plaintiff owns “real estate [like your home],

25
26

stocks, automobiles or other valuable property,” but fails to describe these items or to state their

27

approximate value. See id. at 2 ¶ 5.
