UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Willy Earl Fuller seeks to proceed in forma pauperis in this action. (Doc. 2) The Court 

may authorize the commencement of an action without prepayment of fees “by a person who submits 

an affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such person . . . possesses [and] that the person is 

unable to pay such fees or give security therefor.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The Court has reviewed the 

application and the information provided is insufficient to determine whether Plaintiff satisfies the 

requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

According to his application, Plaintiff is not employed, and has no income other than 

government general relief. (Doc. 2 at 1) Further, Plaintiff notes he does not possess real estate, stocks, 

bonds, securities, other financial instruments, an automobile, or other things of value. (Id. at 2.) 

Consequently, the Court is unable to determine how Plaintiff is supporting himself, or if Plaintiff is 

dependent upon another individual who would be able to pay the filing fee.

Accordingly, within fourteen days, Plaintiff is ORDERED to file an amended application
