UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Kendra Yeanth Hernandez seeks judicial review of an administrative decision denying 

her claim for Social Security benefits. (Doc. 1.) Plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis

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 her application, Plaintiff is not employed, and has no income other than 

government aid and food stamps. (Doc. 2 at 1-2.) Plaintiff reports she does not possess real estate,

Accordingly, within 14 days of this order, Plaintiff is ORDERED to file an amended

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 her application to 

proceed in forma pauperis. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
