UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LISA DENU,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Acting Commissioner Of Social Security,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01927-SMS

ORDER GRANTING AMENDED

APPLICATION TO PROCEED 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 4) 

On December 30, 2015, the Court denied Plaintiff Raymond Affonso’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. 3. Because the application was incomplete, the Court could not 

evaluate whether Plaintiff was sufficiently impoverished to justify proceeding without paying the 

filing fee for his lawsuit. Plaintiff was ordered to pay the filing fee or re-file a completed 

application. Plaintiff has since submitted an amended application which sets forth the showing 

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Doc. 4. 

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. The Clerk 

of Court is directed to issue the summons and new case documents. The United States Marshal is 

directed to serve a copy of the complaint, summons, and this order upon the defendant if requested by the 

plaintiff. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 7, 2016 /s/ Sandra M. Snyder
