UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROSE LIMA-CASTRO,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Acting Commissioner Of Social Security,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01154-SMS

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2) 

By motion filed August 5, 2016, Plaintiff Rose Lima-Castro, by her attorney, Betty Herrera,

seeks to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff submitted an application which is incomplete and 

perplexing. Specifically, Plaintiff failed to provide information concerning her last employment, if 

she is not currently employed. More importantly, Plaintiff’s application reflects she has no income, 

money, or assets, and is yet able to sustain her livelihood. Absent complete and accurate

information regarding Plaintiff’s financial situation, the Court cannot evaluate whether Plaintiff is 

sufficiently impoverished to justify proceeding without paying the filing fee for her lawsuit. 

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff 

shall either submit an amended and complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the 

filing fee to the Clerk of the Court within thirty (30) days of this order. If Plaintiff elects to submit 

an amended application, as this order permits her to do, she must provide complete and accurate

shall dismiss the case for lack of prosecution without further notice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
