UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KATHY GALE FRENCH,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00940-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE 

LONG FORM APPLICATION

(ECF No. 2)

TWENTY DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Kathy Gale French (“Plaintiff”) filed the complaint in this action on June 29, 

2016, along with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. 

Plaintiff’s application demonstrates that her household income is well above the poverty 

threshold for a family of two. (ECF No. 2.) Based upon the application presented, the Court is 

unable to determine if Plaintiff is entitled to proceed 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. Plaintiff may obtain the form at http://www.uscourts.gov/forms/civil-forms.

Based upon the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within twenty (20) days of the date of this order, Plaintiff shall either (1) pay the 

$400.00 filing fee for this action, or (2) complete and file the enclosed
