UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DWIGHT BANKS,

Plaintiff,

v.

RIGOBERTO'S TACO SHOP, 

INC., et al.,

Defendant.

Case No.: 18cv584-LAB (BLM)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS

Plaintiff Dwight Banks, proceeding through counsel, filed his complaint, 

along with a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). 

The IFP motion says Banks has zero years of schooling and his only income 

is $826 per month in disability. It says he doesn’t own a home or spend any money 

on rent, and no one is providing him with anything of value. He says he has no 

assets of any kind, including cash. 

Yet it also says he spends $268 per month on utilities, and $10 per month 

on homeowner’s or renter’s insurance. It isn’t clear how he can have utility bills 

and be paying for homeowner’s or renter’s insurance if he neither owns a home 

nor rents one. There may be an explanation for this, but the onus is on Banks to 

provide it.
