UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Robbin Dee Rowe seeks to proceed in forma pauperis in this action for judicial 

review of the administrative decision denyin an application for Social Security benefits. (Doc. 2) The 

Court may authorize the commencement of an action without prepayment of fees “by a person who 

submits an affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such person . . . possesses [and] that the 

person is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The Court has 

reviewed the application and the information provided is insufficient to determine whether Plaintiff

satisfies the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

According to the application, Plaintiff is currently employed, and has received income from a 

“[b]usiness, profession or other self-employment” during the last twelve months. (Doc. 2 at 1) 

However, Plaintiff fails to prove any information regarding “the amount of [the] take-home salary or 

wages and pay period,” or to “give the name and address of [the] employer,” as is directed on the 

application. (Id.) In addition, Plaintiff fails to identify the amount of money received in the past

twelve months or the amount Plaintiff expects “to continue to receive.” (See id.) Consequently, the 

application is incomplete, and the Court is unable to determine whether Plaintiff satisfies the 

requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED to file, within fourteen days of this order, a complete

application that includes the information identified above, and as indicated on the application form.

Upon receipt of this information, the Court will resume consideration of Plaintiff’s motion to proceed 

in forma pauperis. Plaintiff is warned that failure to comply with this order may result in denial of the

application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
