IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDUARDO DACUMOS, 

Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-00854 FCD KJN PS

v. ORDER

WORLD SAVINGS BANK, 

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, who is proceeding without counsel and has not paid the fee ordinarily

required to file an action in this court, has filed an incomplete application to proceed without the

prepayment of fees and costs, also known as an application to proceed “in forma pauperis” (Dkt.

No. 2). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). First, although plaintiff’s application indicates that

he owns a home, plaintiff answered “None” to question 5 in the application, which asks the

applicant to describe, among other things, any real estate owned by the applicant and the

approximate value of that property. (Dkt. No. 2 at 2.) Second, plaintiff provided no response to

question 8, which asks the applicant to describe the amounts owed on any debts or financial

obligations and to whom those debts or financial obligations are owed. (Id.) 

Without a completed application, the court is unable to properly evaluate whether

plaintiff should be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff will be provided with an

opportunity to submit either (1) a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis, or (2) the

appropriate filing fee.

For the reasons stated above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff shall submit, within twenty (21) days of the date of this order,

either a completed application in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form

provided by the Clerk of Court, or the appropriate filing fee. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with

this order will result in a recommendation that his application to proceed in forma pauperis be

dismissed. 

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send to plaintiff a new Application to

Proceed In District Court Without Prepaying of Fees or Costs.

DATED: May 7, 2010
