UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TOD ERIC KNEELAND,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:13-cv-01774-SAB

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND 

REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE LONG FORM 

APPLICATION

(ECF No. 2)

TWENTY DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Tod Eric Kneeland filed a complaint on November 1, 2013. Plaintiff 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, Plaintiff’s application was not adequately completed. Plaintiff’s 

application has redacted the amount in his checking or savings account. Additionally, Plaintiff 

answered question five as not applicable, but then crossed the answer out indicating that he may 

own assets. 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.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED without prejudice;

pauperis without prepayment of the fee; and

4. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order, this action shall be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
