Case No. 2:13-cv-1469-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(IFP App - Dkt. #1)

14

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff Tabatha Sanders’ Application to Proceed In Forma

15

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

16

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

17

Local Rule IB 1-9.

18

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

19

responded fully to questions 3 and 7. Namely, Plaintiff indicates in question 3 that she receives income

20

from sources other than employment or any other source listed in question 3. She has not, however,

21

described each source of money, the amount she has received, and the amount she expects to receive in the

22

future, as required by the question. Further, in question 7, Plaintiff has failed to state how much she

23

contributes to the support of each child, as required by the question.1 As a result, the court cannot properly

24

evaluate Plaintiff’s In Forma Pauperis Application, and her Application will be denied without prejudice.

25

The Clerk of Court shall retain the Complaint.

Additionally, despite the fact that Plaintiff’s children are minors, she has listed their full names
instead of simply their initials. In any future filings, the Court expects Plaintiff to list her minor children
by their initials.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED:

fee.
