UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID ANTHONY FALLON,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT,

Defendant.

CIV S-05-0567 LKK PAN PS

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

—NFN—

On March 18, 2005, plaintiff filed a declaration entitled

“Forma Pauperis Application” which states in full: “I, David

Anthony Fallon, hereby state that my net worth is less than

$800.00. I hereby state that the information contained in this

forma pauperis application is true and correct.” Also on March

18, plaintiff lodged a one-page “complaint” entitled “This Legal

Action Concerning the Liability of Dental Policies to Pull a

Tooth, About $200.00,” which depicts a large hand-drawn circle

containing six small rectangles, presumably teeth, three

indecipherable notations that include the words “cocaine,”

“silver” and “dentist,” and a demand for “five trillion dollars.” 

Plaintiff’s declaration fails to provide sufficient

information for this court to assess plaintiff’s financial status

and therefore fails to demonstrate plaintiff is unable to pay the

filing fee without compromising his ability to provide himself

and his dependents with the necessities of life. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a)(1); Adkins v. E.I. Dupont de Nemours & Co., 335 U.S.

331, 339 (1948). Moreover, plaintiff’s complaint is frivolous

and fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. See

28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) (i) and (ii). 

Accordingly, I recommend that plaintiff’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis be denied and the Clerk of Court

directed to close this file. 

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the

Honorable Lawrence K. Karlton, the United States District Judge

assigned to this case. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Written

objections may be filed within ten days after being served with

these findings and recommendations. The document should be

captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and

Recommendations.” The failure to file objections within the

specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s

order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

Dated: April 18, 2005.
