UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARLOS HERNANDEZ, 

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Acting Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:15-cv-00262-SKO

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS

Plaintiff Carlos Hernandez filed a complaint on February 19, 2015. (Docs. 1.) The Court 

ordered Plaintiff to either pay the filing fee or submit a completed application to proceed in forma 

pauperis. (Doc. 2.) On March 11, 2015, Plaintiff filed an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis. Plaintiff’s application demonstrates entitlement to proceed without prepayment of fees. 

Plaintiff's application also contains a letter from the Assistant Director of Homeless 

Services at the Salvation Army Berberian Emergency Shelter stating that Plaintiff is staying at that 

facility. It is unclear whether Plaintiff is updating his address with this information. Plaintiff shall 

file a short statement indicating whether his mailing address should be updated with this 

information.
