UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD D. WILLIS,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 10CV1021 DMS (BLM)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS AND

DENYING AS MOOT

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR

APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL

[Docs. 2 & 3.]

vs.

CHASE HOME FINANCE, LLC,

Defendant.

Plaintiff has filed a Complaint for predatory lending and mortgage fraud, along with a motion

to proceed in forma pauperis and a request for appointment of counsel. Although Plaintiff is currently

unemployed, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s declaration of inability to pay costs or give security is

insufficient to permit him to proceed in forma pauperis. Specifically, Plaintiff states that he receives

a pension payment of $2,700 a month from GM Corporation and has $200.00 in a savings account.

(Doc. 2 at 2.) His monthly expenses total $1,677.10, which leaves him with over $1,000 per month

in income. (Id. at 3.) 

In light of this information, Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperisis denied DENIED

and the Complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice. Pursuant to this Order, however, Plaintiff is

granted 30 days leave to pay the $350 filing fee required to maintain this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1914, or to submit additional documentation regarding his economic status. IF PLAINTIFF
