UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FREDERICK W. BOYKIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, ACTING 

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00853-SMS

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2) 

On June 18, 2016, Plaintiff Frederick W. Boykin, by his counsel, Denise Bourgeois Haley,

submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

1

 Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that 

makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. 

The Clerk of Court is directed to issue the summons and new case documents. The United States 

Marshal is directed to serve a copy of the complaint, summons, and this order upon the defendant if 

requested by the plaintiff. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 21, 2016 /s/ Sandra M. Snyder 

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

 

1

 Counsel is reminded that an IFP application submitted to the Court should be complete in its 

entirety to the extent possible. E.g., question number 2 asks the applicant for the amount of takehome salary or wages, in addition to the date and location of his last employer. Complete 

information is essential in the Court’s determination of whether Plaintiff is sufficiently impoverished 

to justify proceeding without paying the filing fee for his lawsuit.
