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 DAVID 

DIXON’S APPLICATION TO PROCEED 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 3)

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 David Dixon’s application indicates that he is employed parttime at a wage of $10 per hour, but he does not indicate the amount of his take-home wages from 

this employment. Therefore, the Court is unable to determine at this time whether Plaintiff David 

Dixon 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 David Dixon shall file an amended application to proceed in forma pauperis that 

fully responds to all applicable questions, including indicating the amount of take-home wages he 

receives from his part-time employment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

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