On April 6, 2018, the court denied plaintiff’s amended motion to proceed in forma

18

pauperis. (ECF No. 5.) Plaintiff responded with a statement indicating that she is unable to pay

19

the filling fee, clarifying that she no longer receives Social Security benefits. (ECF No. 6.) The

20

court construes this as a motion for reconsideration. In light of this motion, the court will

21

entertain an amended motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

22

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

23

Within 14 days of this order, plaintiff shall file an amended application to proceed in

24

forma pauperis that adequately demonstrates plaintiff is unable to pay the filing fee. Plaintiff’s
