MONICA L. CHUBA,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

No. 2:20-CV-0315-DMC

ORDER

Plaintiff, who is proceeding with retained counsel, brings this action for judicial 

review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). 

Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2).

Plaintiff has submitted the affidavit required by § 1915(a) showing that plaintiff is 

unable to prepay fees and costs or give security therefor. The request to proceed in forma 

pauperis will, therefore, be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Plaintiff will be required by this 

order to submit documents to the United States Marshal and file notice with the court. Plaintiff is 

warned that failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action. See Local 

Rule 110.
