Civil No. 07cv1782-LAB(RBB)

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

[DOC. NO. 3]

On September 10, 2007, Plaintiff Annie Morris filed a civil

complaint [doc. no. 1] against Defendant Michael J. Astrue

challenging Defendant’s denial of Plaintiff’s claim for

Supplemental Security Income benefits. Morris has also filed an

application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) [doc. no. 2].

Plaintiff is currently unemployed, having last been employed

in 2001 by Bank of America. (IFP Application 2.) Her IFP

application indicates that she does not receive income from any

source, and has no savings, real estate, or valuable property. 

(Id. at 2-3.) Morris’s application, however, is incomplete. The

last question on the form requires Plaintiff to indicate the

sources of funds she uses for day-to-day expenses. (Id. at 3.) 

Morris did not answer this question, thus leaving the Court to

speculate about her true financial condition.

Given these circumstances, the Court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. See 28

U.S.C.A. § 1915(a)(1) (West Supp. 2005). If Morris wishes to

proceed in forma pauperis, she must file a complete application no

later than November 15, 2007. The Clerk of Court is directed to

send Plaintiff a blank motion to proceed in forma pauperis. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
