UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOY LEON,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00361-SAB

REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE LONG FORM 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 1)

TWENTY DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Joy Leon, appearing pro se in this action for review of denial of Social Security 

benefits, filed a complaint on March 16, 2016. 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 does not 

reflect all the income which is being received by the household. For that reason, the Court is 

unable to determine if she is able to proceed in this action without prepayment of fees.

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.
