UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFFREY GRANT PEABODY,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, ACTING 

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01433-SMS

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2) 

By motion filed September 12, 2014, Plaintiff Jeffrey Grant Peabody, by his attorneys Newel 

Law, seeks to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff submitted a puzzling declaration in which he 

claims no income or assets but claims to support his wife, who "only rec[ei]ves $733.00 monthly." 

Doc. 2 at 2. Plaintiff then adds, "[I]t takes all of mine to survive each month." Id. As a result, the 

Court is unable to conclude with any confidence the amount or source(s) of Plaintiff's income or 

support, or the full amount of his assets or expenses.

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiffs’ motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff 

shall either submit an amended and complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the 

filing fee to the Clerk of Court within thirty (30) days of this order. In the event that Plaintiff does 

not pay the filing fee or submit an amended application, the Court shall dismiss this case for lack of 

prosecution without further notice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
