 The undersigned notes that no separate application to proceed in forma pauperis has 1

been filed on behalf of plaintiff Jose Reyes, Jr., and the application filed by Ms. Reyes does not

indicate that her application was filed on both plaintiffs’ behalf.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VICTORIA REYES;

JOSE REYES, JR.,

Plaintiffs, No. 2:09-cv-03114 GEB KJN PS

v.

JOSEPH MODESTO; DAVID ORDER

JAKABOSKY; MICHELLE DAVISTATE; RICHARD WINTERS; and 

NANCY MEUER

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff Victoria Reyes, who is proceeding without counsel, has not paid the fee

ordinarily required to file an action in this court and has filed an incomplete application to

proceed without prepayment of fees, or in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). 

1

Ms. Reyes’s application further indicates that Ms. Reyes is currently employed, but does not

provide required information about her employment: (1) the amount of Ms. Reyes’s take-home

salary or wages and pay period, and (2) the name and address of Ms. Reyes’s employer.

 Her application appears to state that she has some form of bank account with Wells 2

Fargo Bank, but that it only contains $10.00.

2

(Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit at 1, Dkt. No. 2.) Ms.

Reyes’s application also states that in the last 12 months she has received money through a

“[b]usiness, profession or other self-employment,” but has not provided the required description

identifying: (1) each source of the money, (2) the amount received, and (3) what amount, if any,

she expects she will continue to receive. (Id.) 2

Ms. Reyes will be provided the opportunity to submit either the appropriate

affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee.

For the reasons stated above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff Victoria Reyes shall submit, within twenty (20) days from the

date of this order, either a completed application and affidavit in support of her request to

proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court, or the appropriate filing

fee. Her failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be

dismissed. 

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send to Ms. Reyes a new Application to

Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit.

DATED: March 9, 2010
