UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUBA YESIPOVICH,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, 

Acting Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

No. 2:14-cv-1869 CKD

ORDER

Plaintiff has requested authority under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Pursuant to federal statute, a filing fee of $350.00 is required to commence a civil action in 

federal district court. 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). In addition, a $50.00 general administrative fee for 

civil cases must be paid. 28 U.S.C. § 1914(b). The court may authorize the commencement of an 

action “without prepayment of fees and costs or security therefor, by a person who makes 

affidavit that he is unable to pay such costs or give security therefor.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

Plaintiff’s assets include $29,000 in stocks. Thus, plaintiff has made an inadequate showing of 

indigency. See Alexander v. Carson Adult High Sch., 9 F.3d 1448 (9th Cir. 1993); California 

Men’s Colony v. Rowland, 939 F.2d 854, 858 (9th Cir. 1991); Stehouwer v. Hennessey, 841 F. 

Supp. 316, (N.D. Cal. 1994). Plaintiff will therefore be granted twenty-one days in which to 

submit the appropriate fees to the Clerk of the Court. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to pay the

filing and general administrative fees in the amount of $400 will result in a recommendation that 

the application to proceed in forma pauperis be denied and the instant action be dismissed without 

prejudice.

 In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within twenty-one days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall submit the 

appropriate fees to the Clerk of the Court. 

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve the undersigned’s scheduling order in social 

security cases.
