UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LARRY TEVIS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

VETERANS AFFAIRS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-mc-0069-WBS-KJN PS

ORDER

On June 10, 2015, the United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Ninth Circuit 

transferred this action to the district court for the limited purpose of adjudicating appellants Larry 

Tevis and Nancy Tevis’ motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

1915. (ECF No. 1.) On June 17, 2015, the undersigned denied this motion without prejudice 

because the declaration in support of appellants’ motion purported to declare the assets of both 

appellants, but was signed only by Mr. Tevis, who was unable to make the declaration on Mrs. 

Tevis’ behalf. (ECF No. 3.) Appellants were ordered to file an amended motion containing both 

of their signatures by no later than July 1, 2015. (Id.) On June 29, 2015, the parties filed an 

amended motion to proceed in forma pauperis that complies with this order. (ECF No. 4.)

Mr. and Mrs. Tevis’ amended motion to proceed in forma pauperis demonstrates that 

neither appellant is able to prepay fees and costs or give security for them.
