Case No. 1:15-cv-00220-SAB

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND 

REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE LONG 

FORM APPLICATION

(ECF No. 3)

TWENTY DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Nigel Marin (“Plaintiff”) filed the complaint in this action appealing the denial 

of Social Security benefits on February 9, 2015. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee 

in this action and instead filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915. However, Plaintiff indicates that he provides half support to his wife, however, there is 

no indication the amount that he provides. The Court is unable to determine that Plaintiff is 

eligible to proceed without prepayment of fees in this action. 

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.

Based upon the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED without prejudice;
