UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCOS MARIA GODINEZ,

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

 Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-000789-EPG

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF 

TO FILL OUT A COMPLETED

MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS APPLICATION OR PAY 

THE $400.00 FILING FEE IN FULL

(ECF No. 2)

Plaintiff filed a complaint challenging a decision by the Commissioner of Social 

Security that denied Social Security disability benefits. (ECF No. 1.) On June 7, 2016, 

Plaintiff submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, 

however, he did not submit a completed form. (ECF No. 2.) Specifically, Plaintiff did not 

provide a complete answer to question number three, which requires the plaintiff to “describe, 

on the following page, each source of money and state the amount received and what you 

expect you will continue to receive.” (ECF No. 2 (emphasis added).) The Court is not able to 

consider the application until the form is completed and the requisite information is provided. 

Therefore, if Plaintiff wishes to proceed in forma pauperis, he shall file a completed application 

no later than June 17, 2016. Alternatively, Plaintiff may pay the $400.00 filing fee by that 

same date.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

The Clerk shall attach an application to proceed in forma pauperis to this Order. No 

later than June 17, 2016, Plaintiff shall submit the attached application fully completed and 

signed, or in the alternative, pay the $400.00 filing fee.

No requests for extension will be granted without a showing of good cause. Failure to 

timely comply with this order will result in a recommendation that the application be denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
