In Re: STEVEN E. MUTH,
Debtor
STEVEN E. MUTH,
Appellant,
v.
KIM KROHN,
Appellee.

ORDER TO CURE DEFICIENCY

Debtor/Appellant, Steven E. Muth, initiated this bankruptcy appeal by filing pro se
a Notice of Appeal and Statement of Election (Doc. 2) electing to have the appeal heard
by the United States District Court. The first page of the Notice of Appeal and
Statement of Election includes a handwritten notation that reads “Please waive Fee”
and was docketed a second time as a motion to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915. (See Doc. 3.) Mr. Muth also included a request to proceed without
prepayment of fees in a motion (Doc. 10) filed April 21, 2015.
The requests to proceed without prepayment of fees are deficient because Mr.
Muth has not provided the Court with an affidavit that includes sufficient information to
determine whether he qualifies to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1915 in this bankruptcy appeal. Mr. Muth will be directed to cure this deficiency by filing

an Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long
Form). Alternatively, Mr. Muth may elect to pay the required filing fee. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that, on or before July 1, 2015, Mr. Muth either pay the required filing
fee or file on the proper form an Application to Proceed in District Court Without
Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form). It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of the Court mail to Mr. Muth, together with
a copy of this order, a blank copy of the following form: Application to Proceed in
District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form).
DATED June 2, 2015, at Denver, Colorado.
