UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

U.S. BANK TRUST, N.A.,

Plaintiff,

v.

KENNETH J. MCCORMACK, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00491---SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE 

LONG FORM APPLICATION

TWENTY DAY DEADLINE

Defendant Kenneth J. McCormack (“Defendant”), appearing pro se in this action, 

removed this action from state court on March 30, 2015. (ECF No. 1.) Defendant did not pay 

the filing fee in this action and instead filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant 

to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. However, Defendant’s application was not adequately completed. 

Defendant declined to answer several questions regarding other possible sources of income. 

Further, according to the complaint in this action, Defendant has a wife, Co-Defendant Jennie 

Hubbell McCormack. Defendant’s application fails to divulge any financial contribution Jennie 

Hubbell McCormack provides to the household.

Accordingly, the Court will order Plaintiff to complete and file an Application to Proceed 

in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form) – AO 239. If Plaintiff is 

unwilling to complete and submit the long form application, Plaintiff must pay the filing fee in 

full.
