MYRA L. EASLEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

NICHOLAS DROBCKY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-02778-JSC 

THIRD ORDER RE: APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

Re: Dkt. No. 2

Plaintiff Myra L. Easley brings this action against Defendants Nicholas Drobcky and 

Woodminster Real Estate, Co. arising out of the parties’ negotiations over the sale of Plaintiff’s 

condominium unit. Plaintiff alleges that she has standing to sue “on behalf of her assignor, 

Deborah France-Green.”1 (Dkt. No. 1 ¶ 3.) Plaintiff filed this action without paying the filing fee 

and without attorney representation. As the Court previously explained, to proceed with a civil 

action without paying the filing fee, the plaintiff must qualify to proceed in forma pauperis and 

submit the affidavit as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Only the alleged assignor has filed an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. No. 2), but she is not a plaintiff in this case. For 

this reason, the Court previously denied without prejudice Ms. France-Green’s application to 

proceed in forma pauperis and ordered Plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis 

or pay the filing fee by June 29, 2016. (Dkt. Nos. 5, 7.)

To date, Plaintiff has not filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis or paid the filing 

fee. Instead, Plaintiff has filed motions for appointment of counsel and for leave and approval of 

court to file a notice of lis pendens. (Dkt. Nos. 11, 12.) However, before the case can proceed,

The alleged assignor is listed elsewhere as Deborah Green-France. (See Dkt. No. 2 at 1.)
