ORDER
Case No. 14-cv-594-wmc

Plaintiffs,
v.
COUNTY OF BUFFALO, ET AL.
Defendants.

Plaintiffs Michael Vernon Critchfield, Julie Ann Critchfield, Joseph Michael
Critchfield, R. A. C., S. E. C. and Ryan Thomas Bechard have filed a document titled “Bill in
Equity,” which I construe to be a civil complaint. Plaintiff Michael Vernon Critchfield also
filed a request for leave to proceed without prepaying the filing fee. To the extent that all of
the plaintiffs would like to proceed without prepayment of the $400 filing fee, I note that
plaintiffs Julie Ann Critchfield, Joseph Michael Critchfield and Ryan Thomas Bechard have
not provided financial affidavits so that I can make a determination as to whether they
qualify for indigent status. Therefore, I will provide these plaintiffs with the opportunity to
supplement the request for leave to proceed without prepaying the filing fee in this case by
completing the enclosed affidavits of indigency.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiffs Julie Ann Critchfield, Joseph Michael Critchfield and
Ryan Thomas Bechard may have until October 1, 2014, in which to each submit an affidavit

of indigency and return it to the court.

If any plaintiff fails to provide this requested

financial information in a timely fashion, then the court will deny their request for leave to
proceed without prepayment of the filing fee for failure to show that they are indigent.
