SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:13-cv-01995-SAB

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND 

REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE LONG FORM 

APPLICATION

(ECF No. 2)

TWENTY DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Ermelinda Hernandez filed a complaint on December 5, 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 her gross monthly income and her explanation regarding some 

of her expenses. 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;

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to forward an in forma pauperis application
