UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KIMBERLY J. KEELER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JOHNATHAN SHELDON, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-cv-2206 MCE AC (PS) 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. This matter was accordingly referred to the 

undersigned by E.D. Cal. 302(c)(21). Plaintiff has again renewed her request for leave to proceed 

in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. ECF No. 7. 

 Plaintiff’s renewed IFP application does not make the showing required by 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(a)(1). According to the application, plaintiff has monthly income of $1,521 from “Soc 

Disability” and $2,200 from “workmans.” ECF No. 7. Although plaintiff asserts that she 

supports “self & daughter 80%,” and “boyfriend 20%” the form does not explain what the 

percentages mean, nor how much money (in dollars), plaintiff spends on each dependent, and for 

which expense. Plaintiff therefore has failed for the third time to show that she cannot pay the 

filing fee. 

 To assist plaintiff, the court is appending the current version of the IFP form, which shows 

more clearly how plaintiff can make the required showing.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Plaintiff’s request to proceed IFP (ECF No. 7), is DENIED. 

 2. Plaintiff is granted 30 days from the date of this order to renew her application or to 

pay the filing fee. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to timely comply with this order may result in 

a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
