UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FELICITAS TORRES CASTILLO,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01566-SAB

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

ECF NO. 4

Plaintiff Felicitas Torres Castillo (“Plaintiff”) filed an amended application to proceed in 

forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 on October 27, 2014. Plaintiff’s original 

application to proceed in forma pauperis was denied by the Court on October 9, 2014. The Court 

denied the original application because, among other reasons, “Plaintiff indicated that she had 

money in cash or a checking or savings account but did not indicate the amount.” (Order 

Denying Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and Requiring Plaintiff to File Long Form 

Application 1:21-22.) The Court granted Plaintiff leave to file an amended application which 

cured this defect.

Plaintiff’s amended application again indicates that Plaintiff owns a savings account but 

Plaintiff again omitted any response to the form inquiry regarding the “Amount you have” in the 

savings account. (See Amended Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying 

Fees or Costs, at pg. 2.) Because Plaintiff conspicuously omitted any response to this form

inquiry after the Court specifically identified this defect in Plaintiff’s original application, the 

Court will deny Plaintiff’s amended application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff shall pay 

the $400.00 filing fee in this action in full within thirty days. Plaintiff is forewarned that failure 

to pay the filing fee on time will result in dismissal of this action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED;

2. Plaintiff shall pay the $400.00 filing fee in full within thirty days.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
