UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PRESSLEY DWANE WIGGINS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Acting Commissioner Of Social Security,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00041-SMS

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 4) 

On January 14, 2016, the Court denied Plaintiff Pressley Dwane Wiggins’s application to 

proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. 3. Because the application was incomplete, the Court could not 

evaluate whether Plaintiff was sufficiently impoverished to justify proceeding without paying the 

filing fee for his lawsuit. Plaintiff was ordered to pay the filing fee or re-file a completed 

application. Plaintiff has since submitted an amended application which sets forth the showing 

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Doc. 4. 

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. The Clerk 

of Court is directed to issue the summons and new case documents. The United States Marshal is 

directed to serve a copy of the complaint, summons, and this order upon the defendant if requested by the 

plaintiff. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
