United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

U.S. BANK TRUST, N.A.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SAMUEL G. FLORES, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-04785-KAW 

AMENDED ORDER DENYING 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS WITH LEAVE TO 

AMEND

Re: Dkt. No. 2

The Court has received Defendant’s notice of removal and application to proceed in forma 

pauperis (IFP). The Court may authorize a party to file an action in federal court without 

prepayment of fees or security if the party submits an affidavit showing that he or she is unable to 

pay such fees or give security therefor. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The in forma pauperis statute also 

provides that the Court shall dismiss the case if at any time the Court determines that the 

allegation of poverty is untrue, or that the action (1) is frivolous or malicious, (2) fails to state a 

claim on which relief may be granted; or (3) seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is 

immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). 

Defendant, however, filled out a short form IFP application in lieu of the Northern 

District’s application, which was incorrect, so his application is DENIED with leave to amend. 

The correct form—titled “Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis—Non-Prisoner Cases”—is 

available on the district court’s website at http://cand.uscourts.gov/civilforms. Defendant shall, by 

November 13, 2015, either submit an amended IFP application or pay the filing fee.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 21, 2015
