UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RIORA BENEPHRAIM,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 2:24-CV-03310-CSK

ORDER/RECOMMENDATIONS

(ECF No. 2)

This case was referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, and Eastern District of California Local Rule 

302(c)(15). Plaintiff Riora Ben-Ephraim1 requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis 

(“IFP”) without prepayment of the filing fee under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF No. 2.)

Plaintiff’s affidavit demonstrates an inability to prepay fees and costs or give 

security for them, and so the request is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is directed to 

issue: (i) a summons for this case pursuant to Rule 3 of the Supplemental Rules for 

Social Security actions; (ii) the undersigned’s scheduling order for Social Security cases; 

1 Plaintiff’s request to proceed IFP lists her last name as “Ben-Ephraim,” however, the 

Complaint lists her last name as “Benephraim.” The Court will utilize Plaintiff’s spelling 

on her request for IFP.
