Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:22-cv-01038-BAM

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE 

LONG FORM APPLICATION TO PROCEED 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2)

TWENTY-ONE DAY DEADLINE 

On August 17, 2022, Plaintiff Danae Schmitzer (“Plaintiff”), through counsel, filed this 

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

Administration. (Doc. 1.) Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee and instead filed an application to 

proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Doc. 2). However, Plaintiff’s 

application is insufficient for the Court to determine if Plaintiff is entitled to proceed without 

prepayment of fees in this action. Notably, Plaintiff has reported receiving $5,000 per month

unwilling to complete and submit the long form application, Plaintiff must pay the filing fee in 

full.

Based upon the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to forward an Application to Proceed in District 

Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form) – AO 239 to Plaintiff;

2 Within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this order, Plaintiff shall either (1) 

pay the $402.00 filing fee for this action, or (2) complete and file the enclosed 

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

Form) – AO 239; and

3. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order, this action shall be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
