UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Vincent Ysarraras Ramirez, Sr., seeks to proceed with an action against the Commissioner of 

Social Security. As a general rule, all parties instituting any civil action, suit or proceeding in a United 

States District Court must pay a filing fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). However, the Court may authorize the 

commencement of an action without the filing fee “by a person who submits an affidavit that includes a 

statement of all assets such [person] possesses that the person is unable to pay such fees or give 

security therefore.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Therefore, an action may proceed despite a failure to 

prepay the filing fee only if leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) is granted by the Court. See 

Rodriguez v. Cook, 169 F.3d 1176, 1177 (9th Cir. 1999).

Plaintiff commenced this action by filing a complaint on July 30, 2015. (Doc. 1) However, 

Plaintiff failed to pay the requisite filing fee or to file a motion to proceed IFP, and the matter cannot 

proceed before the Court at this time.
