Filing 4

ORDER Requiring Supplemental Affidavit. Signed by Jane M Virden on 12/27/12. (ncb)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
OXFORD DIVISION

ROBERT TITRELL GIVAN
V.

PLAINTIFF
NO. 3:12CV120-GHD-JMV

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY

DEFENDANT

ORDER REQUIRING SUPPLEMENTAL AFFIDAVIT
Before the court in this Social Security case is Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed on Appeal In Forma
Pauperis [2] and supporting Affidavit [3]. Plaintiff’s mother, Tiffany Boyd, has submitted the Affidavit
in support of the motion. Affiant states: “[B]ecause of my poverty I am unable to pay the costs of said
proceeding or give security therefor.” Nevertheless, Affiant also states that she is presently employed full
time and is paid biweekly. Affiant also states she has a checking account and owns a 2010 Ford Taurus.
The court is unable to discern whether Plaintiff Robert Titrell Givan is unable to pay the costs
associated with this action. First, this suit has been brought solely in Givan’s name, and there is no
statement that he is a minor or incompetent person or that he is unable to pay the costs associated with this
action. Second, Boyd has failed to state the amount of her income, the amount in her checking account,
and the approximate value of her vehicle. Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED:
That within 14 days of this date, Plaintiff shall provide a supplemental affidavit in support of his
ifp application. Plaintiff should be careful to supply the missing information identified above.
THIS, the 27th day of December, 2012.
