UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARY J. BRYANT,

Plaintiff,

v.

SELECT SERVICES PORTFOLIO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-1642-LJO-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

SUBMIT LONG FORM APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 2)

TWENTY DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Mary Bryant, proceeding pro se, filed this action on October 31, 2016. (ECF 

No. 1.) Along with her complaint, Plaintiff filed an application to proceed in this action without 

prepayment of fees. Upon review of the application, Plaintiff has not answered all the questions 

set forth asking whether she has received funds from specific sources in the past twelve months. 

Plaintiff did not check “yes” or “no” for whether she receives income from “any other sources.” 

Plaintiff indicated that she receives disability payments and that they will expire in January 2017, 

but she does not indicate the amount that she has received and is receiving. The Court notes that 

it appears that Plaintiff is indicating that she receives $1,000 a month in rent, but it is unclear 

from Plaintiff’s form. Therefore, the Court is unable to determine if Plaintiff is entitled to

unwilling to complete and submit the long form application, Plaintiff must pay the filing fee in 

full.

Based upon the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to forward an Application to Proceed in District 

Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form) – AO 239 to Plaintiff;

2. Within twenty (20) days of the date of this order, Plaintiff shall either (1) pay the 

$400.00 filing fee for this action, or (2) complete and file the enclosed 

Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long 

Form) – AO 239; and

3. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order, the Court shall recommend that this 

action be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
