NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEE A. ROSS,

Plaintiff,

v.

NANCY A. BERRYHILL,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-02353-SVK 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 2, 6

Plaintiff has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF 2 (“IFP Application”). 

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), a district court may authorize the commencement of a civil 

action in forma pauperis if it is satisfied that the would-be plaintiff cannot pay the filing fees 

necessary to pursue the action. On May 7, 2019, the Court issued an order denying Plaintiff’s IFP 

application after finding that Plaintiff does not qualify for IFP status. ECF 6. The Court provided 

Plaintiff until May 21, 2019, to respond by submitting a supplemental declaration regarding the 

amount of disposable income that is available to Plaintiff. That deadline has passed, and Plaintiff 

has not filed a supplemental declaration.
