UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ZACHARY LLOYD KALSO, 

Plaintiff,

No. 2:24-cv-0466 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a county prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983, has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. The application to proceed 

in forma pauperis represents that plaintiff has no cash or assets, but states that plaintiff received a 

lump sum annuity payment of $12,046.00 within the last twelve months. ECF No. 2 at 1-2. It 

also states that plaintiff has a dependent son for whom he is the sole provider, but does not state 

how much he contributes. Id. at 2. Based on this information, the court is unable to assess 

whether the application to proceed in forma pauperis should be granted and plaintiff will be 

required to supplement the application. Plaintiff’s supplement should identify (1) when he 

received the $12,046.00 payment and how much of it remains; (2) any housing, transportation, 

utilities, or loan payments, or other regular monthly expenses and the amount of the monthly

monthly basis; and (4) any debts or financial obligations including the amounts owed and to 

whom they are payable. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within thirty days of the service of this 

order, plaintiff shall file further briefing on his request to proceed in forma pauperis as set forth 

above. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that the application to 

proceed in forma pauperis be denied.
