Case No. 2:13-cv-00440-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(IFP App - Dkt. #1)

12
13

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff Manuel R. Ramirez’s Application to Proceed In Forma

14

Pauperis (Dkt. #1) filed March 15, 2013. Plaintiff has requested authority, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915,

15

to proceed in forma pauperis, and submitted a Complaint. This proceeding was referred to this court by

16

Local Rule IB 1-9.

17

Plaintiff has submitted an incomplete Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Plaintiff has not

18

responded fully to question 3– namely, although he states his current source of income and the current

19

amount, he fails to state what he expects to receive in the future. Additionally, Plaintiff has not responded

20

fully to question 7– namely, he fails to list the amount that he contributes to the two dependent minor

21

children whom he supports. Plaintiff states he contributes 100% support to these children, but fails to state

22

the actual amount. As a result, the court cannot determine whether Plaintiff qualifies to proceed in forma

23

pauperis, and his Application will be denied without prejudice. The Clerk of Court shall retain the

24

Complaint.
