ORDER

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,

Defendant.

/

17

Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this action for judicial review of a final

18

decision of the Commissioner of Social Security under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Pending before the

19

court is what appears to be a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 2). However,

20

the request consists of a blank order; no application was completed or filed.

21

Before the court can consider whether to grant a motion for leave to proceed in

22

forma pauperis, a complete application is required. Plaintiff will be provided an opportunity to

23

either pay the filing fees for this action or submit a completed application for leave to proceed in

24

forma pauperis. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to comply with this order may result in

25

dismissal of the action. See Local Rule 110.
