UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Edward Morris seeks to proceed in forma pauperis in this action. (Doc. 2) The Court may 

authorize the commencement of an action without prepayment of fees “by a person who submits an 

affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such person . . . possesses [and] that the person is 

unable to pay such fees or give security therefor.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The Court has reviewed the 

application and the information provided is insufficient to determine whether Plaintiff satisfies the 

requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

According to his application, Plaintiff is not employed and has no income. (Doc. 2 at 1) 

However, Plaintiff failed to complete the section directing him to state the date of his last employment, 

the amount of his salary, and the address of his last employer. (Id.) Further, Plaintiff indicates he does 

not possess real estate, stocks, bonds, securities, other financial instruments, an automobile, or other 

things of value—and his bank account has only 78 cents. (Id. at 2) Consequently, the Court is unable 

to determine how Plaintiff is supporting himself, or if Plaintiff is dependent upon another individual

who would be able to pay the filing fee.

Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED to file, within fourteen days of this order, an application 

that includes information on how Plaintiff is supporting himself, or his dependence on another. Upon 

receipt of this information, the Court will resume consideration of Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in 

forma pauperis. Plaintiff is warned that failure to comply with this order may result in denial of his 

application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
