UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ESTELA GOMEZ DE RAMOS,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00709-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

SUBMIT APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS BY A PRISONER OR 

FILE NOTICE EXPLAINING WHY SUCH AN 

APPLICATION IS NOT APPROPRIATE IN 

THIS ACTION AND DIRECTING CLERK OF 

THE COURT TO PROVIDE PLAINTIFF 

WITH AN APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS BY A PRISONER

(ECF Nos. 3, 4)

FORTY-FIVE DAY DEADLINE

On May 20, 2016, Plaintiff Estella Gomez De Ramos (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint in 

this action seeking judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security 

(“Commissioner” or “Defendant”) denying her application for disability benefits pursuant to the 

Social Security Act. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff also filed an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis in which she indicated that she was incarcerated. (ECF No. 2.) On May 23, 2016, an 

order issued denying Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis without prejudice and 

requiring her to file an application to proceed informa pauperis by a prisoner. The Court notes 

that the order provided Plaintiff with the incorrect form.

On June 30, 2016, Plaintiff filed a long form application to proceed in forma pauperis.

Since Plaintiff has indicated that she is incarcerated, she is required to submit an application to 

proceed in forma pauperis by a prisoner which includes the authorization to deduct payments 

from her account to pay the filing fee in this action. See 18 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Office of the Clerk shall provide Plaintiff with an application to proceed in 

forma pauperis by a prisoner;

2. Within forty-five (45) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall 

file the attached application to proceed in forma pauperis, completed and signed, 

or in the alternative, provide notice to the Court of why the prisoner application 

would not be required in this action; and

3. Plaintiff is notified that the failure to comply with this order will result in this 

action being dismissed without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
