Case No. C17-1137-RSM-JPD

NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting

Defendant.

Plaintiff has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in the above-

18

entitled action. Dkt. 1. After careful consideration of the application, the governing law and

19

the balance of the record, the Court ORDERS as follows:

20

(1)

Plaintiff’s application to proceed IFP, Dkt. 1, is DENIED. Plaintiff’s

21

application is deficient because he failed to comply with LCR 3(b) by sufficiently answering

22

all of the questions on the IFP affidavit approved for use in this district. Specifically, in

23

response to Question #7, plaintiff lists a home expenses, yet under Question #5, he does not

24

disclose any ownership interest in real estate. Dkt. 1 at 2. It is therefore unclear whether

25

plaintiff owns any real estate.
