Case No. 18-cv-00747-MMC
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S
REQUEST TO PROCEED IN FORMA

Defendants.

13

The Court is in receipt of plaintiff’s “Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis,” filed

14

February 5, 2018. Having read and considered the Request, the Court rules as follows.

15

In his Request, plaintiff asserts he is unemployed, has no money in a checking or

16

savings account, has not received income, payments, or gifts of any type in the past

17

twelve months, and does not own any “valuable property.” (See Request at 1-2.) In the

18

caption of both his Complaint and Request, however, plaintiff lists himself as doing

19

business as “Starlight Consulting Services,” and provides as his address of record a suite

20

in a commercial building.

21

Given what appears to be a conflict in the information provided by plaintiff, the

22

Court hereby DENIES the Request, and plaintiff is hereby DIRECTED to submit, no later

23

than February 23, 2018, either the filing fee or an Amended Request clarifying the above-

24

noted apparent conflict and setting forth in greater detail his financial status.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
