ORDER

On May 24, 2010, this Court dismissed Plaintiff Theodore E. Coit, Jr.’s complaint

against Defendants Sutton Funding, LLC, HomEq Servicing Corporation, Equifirst

Corporation, and Barclays Capital Real Estate, Inc. with prejudice. Doc. 31. On June 3,

2010, Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis (Doc. 37) and Defendants

opposed (Doc. 41). 

A party seeking leave to appeal in forma pauperis must provide the court with detailed

information regarding “the party’s inability to pay,” including employment history, and

sources and amounts of income. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(1)(A); Fed. R. App. Form 4. The

court may deny the motion if the party fails to provide such information. See United States

v. McQuade, 647 F.2d 938, 940 (9th Cir.1981) (per curiam). Plaintiff asserts that he is

“without property or money with which to pay the costs of appeal,” and his signed affidavit

states that “Plaintiff’s money and property have been depleted and exhausted by this

litigation and Plaintiff has no money or property with which to pay . . . .” Doc. 37. The

affidavit contains no further information that verifies his claim to poverty, as required by
