UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY S. TOFAUTE and DAVID 

DIXON,

Plaintiffs,

v.

COUNTY OF MADERA, et al.,

Defendants. /

Case No. 1:16-cv-01627-DAD-SKO

ORDER TO AMEND PLAINTIFF 

TIMOTHY S. TOFAUTE’S 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2)

ORDER

Plaintiffs Timothy S. Tofaute and David Dixon, pro se litigants, filed a complaint on 

October 28, 2016, along with applications to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915. (Docs. 1, 2 & 3.) Plaintiff Timothy S. Tofaute’s application indicates that he receives 

disability compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, but he does not indicate 

the amount he has received and is receiving. Therefore, the Court is unable to determine at this 

time whether Plaintiff Timothy S. Tofaute is entitled to proceed without prepayment of fees in this 

action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within 28 days from the date of this 

Order, Plaintiff Timothy S. Tofaute shall file an amended application to proceed in forma 

pauperis that fully responds to all applicable questions, including indicating the amount he has

received and is receiving in VA disability compensation.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 15, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
