No. 4:14-CV-1016-CEJ

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on 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).
The Court is unable to determine if plaintiff is financially unable to pay the
filing fee at this time, because he has submitted a partially-completed financial
affidavit CJA Form 23 in support of his application for in forma pauperis status
[Doc. #3]. Plaintiff has failed to state whether he has any cash on hand or money in
a savings or checking account, and if he does, the total amount of said account(s).
He has also failed to list his debts and monthly bills. In addition, it is unclear if
plaintiff is currently self-employed and earning income; if he is presently working,
he must state how much he earns per month. For these reasons, plaintiff will be

instructed to file a fully-completed CJA Form 23 (financial affidavit). 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 or to submit a
fully-completed CJA Form 23 (financial affidavit).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to comply with this
order, the Court will dismiss this action, without prejudice and without further
notice.
Dated this 17th day of June, 2014.
