UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERRANCE MARSH, et al.

Plaintiffs,

v.

NATIONS DIRECT MORTGAGE, LLC.

Defendant.

Case No. 1:23-cv-01518-JLT-CDB

ORDER DIRECTING EACH PLAINTIFF TO 

FILE AN APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS

(Docs. 2-3)

THIRTY-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiffs Terrance Marsh and Gisele Marsh (“Plaintiffs”), proceeding pro se, filed this 

civil action on October 10, 2023. (Doc. 1). Neither Plaintiff has paid the $402.00 filing fee, but 

each Plaintiff has filed a form requesting a waiver of court fees on what appears to be a form 

used by California state courts. (Docs. 2-3). The Court acknowledges that while the form 

Plaintiffs used provides some helpful information, courts of this District use a standard form 

created by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts that requires additional information to 

determine whether a plaintiff may proceed in forma pauperis, i.e., without payment of the 

Court’s filing fee. Thus, the Court will require each Plaintiff to complete in full the Court’s 

standard form. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to send Plaintiffs two applications to proceed 

in forma pauperis (Form-AO 240).

2. Within thirty (30) days of the date of service of this order, each Plaintiff SHALL 

SUBMIT the attached application to proceed in forma pauperis, completed and 

signed, or in the alternative, pay the $402.00 filing fee for this action. No requests 

for extension will be granted without a showing of good cause. Failure to comply 

with this order will result in dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
