ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFFS’

IN FORMA PAUPERIS

APPLICATIONS 

This suit was filed by four individual plaintiffs and a

“group plaintiff,” the Antioch Section 8 Families for Fair

Housing, that is not eligible for in forma pauperis status

because it is not a natural person. Rowland v. Cal. Men’s

Colony, unit II Men’s Advisory Council, 506 U.S. 194, 212

(1993). Even though plaintiffs paid the filing fee, the

individual plaintiffs have submitted applications to proceed

in forma pauperis. If the individual plaintiffs wish the

court to rule on their applications, they should file by May

30, 2008 a written explanation of the purpose to be served by

having the individuals be considered for in forma pauperis

status, after the fee was paid.

The individual applications appear to contain

inconsistencies and inaccuracies. For example, plaintiff

Scott claims a gross income of $1500 per month but a net

income of $1600 per month. Assuming, plaintiffs wish to

proceed, each plaintiff is urged to carefully review her

application and determine whether it should be withdrawn or

corrected.
