UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

REPUBLICAS UNIDOS DE MEXICO,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 11CV623 DMS (WMC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

vs.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant.

Plaintiff filed a Complaint and a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) on

March 28, 2011. (Docs. 1, 2.) All parties instituting a civil action, suit, or proceeding in a district

court of the United States, except an application for writ of habeas corpus, must pay a filing fee of

$350.00. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). An action may proceed despite a plaintiff’s failure to prepay the

entire fee only if the plaintiff is granted leave to proceed IFP pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). See

Rodriguez v. Cook, 169 F.3d 1176, 1177 (9th Cir. 1999). Here, however, the affidavit and motion to

proceed IFP filed by Plaintiff states merely “I LM Moreña swear under penalty of perjury that I am

indegent [sic]. I also ask this Honorable Court that it grants [sic] me this Motion to Proceed.” (Mot.

at 1.) As Plaintiff has not included any information regarding his or her financial situation in the

motion to proceed IFP, the Court is unable to make a determination as to whether Plaintiff should be

permitted to proceed IFP. Plaintiff’s motion to proceed IFP is therefore denied and the Complaint is

dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff is granted 30 days’ leave to pay the $350.00 filing free required

to maintain this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1914 or to submit a supplemental affidavit and

additional documentation regarding his or her economic status. If Plaintiff chooses to file additional

information regarding his or her indigency, he or she must attach a copy of this Order to any such

documents. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
