UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID ANTHONY FALLON,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT,

Defendant.

CIV S-05-0979 WBS PAN PS

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

—NFN—

On May 17, 2005, plaintiff filed a declaration entitled

“Forma Pauperis Application” which states, “I, David Anthony

Fallon, hereby state that I have $610.00 in cash and no personal

property of any real value.” The accompanying complaint seeks

“two hundred billion dollars” from the U.S. Government for

plaintiff’s “expos[ure] to a strip search in the San Mateo Men’s

County Jail in 2000” which the County has purportedly justified

to plaintiff by reference to California Government Code §§ 910

and 910.2.

Plaintiff’s declaration fails to provide sufficient

information for this court to assess plaintiff’s financial status

and therefore fails to demonstrate plaintiff is unable to pay the

filing fee without compromising his ability to provide himself

and his dependents with the necessities of life. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a)(1); Adkins v. E.I. Dupont de Nemours & Co., 335 U.S.

331, 339 (1948). Moreover, plaintiff’s complaint fails to state

a claim upon which relief may be granted. See 28 U.S.C. §§

1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). 

Accordingly, I recommend that plaintiff’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis be denied and the Clerk of Court

directed to close this file. 

I further recommend that plaintiff be cautioned that he

may be sanctioned pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b) if he

continues to file frivolous complaints. Plaintiff has filed

twenty-two cases in this court since 1996. This is the third of

plaintiff’s cases assigned to this judge within the last two

months and none sets forth a cognizable claim.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the

Honorable William B. Shubb, the United States District Judge

assigned to this case. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Written

objections may be filed within ten days after being served with

these findings and recommendations. The document should be

captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and

Recommendations.” The failure to file objections within the
