ORDER

NICK JOHNSON, et al,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. This matter was accordingly referred to the

17
18

undersigned by E.D. Cal. 302(c)(21). Plaintiff has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis

19

(“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).

20
21

According to the application, plaintiff has earned $50,000 in the past 12 months through his

22

business and has collected $4,000 in unemployment. ECF No. 2 at 1. Plaintiff has assets

23

including a home valued at $800,000.00, and his last filed income tax return, filed in 2021,

24

reflected $107,000.00 income, and $400.00 in a bank account. Id. at 2. Considering plaintiff’s

25

income, assets, and expenses, plaintiff does not qualify for waiver of the court’s $400.00 filing

26

fee.

27
28

For plaintiff to continue prosecuting this case, he must pay the filing fee no later than
February 3, 2023. If plaintiff fails to pay the filing fee, this case will be dismissed. Accordingly,
