UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JANIE MONTOYA CASTANEDA,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00676-SAB

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS AND DIRECTING CLERK OF 

COURT TO ISSUE SUMMONS

(ECF Nos. 2, 4)

On May 12, 2016, Plaintiff Janie Montoya Castaneda filed a complaint. (ECF No. 1.) 

On that same date, Plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

1915. (ECF No. 2.) On May 17, 2016, the Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to complete 

and file an Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long 

Form) – AO 239. (ECF No. 3.) The Court was unable to determine at that time whether Plaintiff 

met the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915, because Plaintiff’s first in forma pauperis application 

was not adequately completed. On June 6, 2016, Plaintiff filed an amended motion to proceed in

forma pauperis. (ECF No. 4.) Plaintiff’s application demonstrates entitlement to proceed 

without prepayment of fees.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED;
