UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GAGANJOT MANN,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:19-cv-01630-BAM

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE 

LONG FORM APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. No. 2)

TWENTY-ONE DAY DEADLINE 

On November 15, 2019, Plaintiff Gaganjot Mann (“Plaintiff”), through counsel, filed the 

complaint in this action seeking judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of the 

Social Security Administration. (Doc. No. 1.) Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee and instead 

filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Doc. No. 2). 

However, Plaintiff’s application is insufficient for the Court to determine if she is entitled to 

proceed without prepayment of fees in this action. Notably, Plaintiff has reported that her spouse 

receives income in the amount of $3,850.00 per month, but that she has various other monthly 

expenses, debts and financial obligations. (Id. at p. 2.)

Accordingly, the Court will order Plaintiff to complete and file an Application to Proceed 

in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form) – AO 239. If Plaintiff is 

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-one (21) 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, this action shall be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
