No. 4:13-CV-2505-JAR
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon review of plaintiff’s motion for leave
to commence this action without payment of the required filing fee [Doc. #2]. See
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
Plaintiff has submitted a partially-completed financial affidavit CJA Form
23 [Doc. #3] in support of his application for in forma pauperis status. Plaintiff has
failed to state (1) whether, if married, his spouse is employed and what she earns
per month; (2) the source of the $10,000 in “other income” that plaintiff states he
received in the past twelve months; (3) if he has any cash on hand or money in a
savings or checking account, and if he does, the total amount; (4) if he owns any
property, and if he does, the value and description of the property; (5) whether or
not he has any dependents; and (6) information regarding his current debts and
monthly bills. As such, the Court is unable to determine, at this time, if plaintiff is
financially unable to pay any portion of the filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a),
Local Rule 2.05(A).
In accordance with the foregoing,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall have thirty (30) days from
the date of this Order to pay the statutory filing fee of $400.00, or to submit a fully
completed CJA Form 23 (financial affidavit).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to pay the filing fee or
to submit a fully-completed CJA Form 23 within thirty days, the case shall be
dismissed, without prejudice and without further notice to him.
Dated this 22nd day of January, 2014.
