UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARILEE BROWN,

Plaintiff,

v.

SALLY JEWELL,

Defendant.

No. 2:16-cv-0637 MCE CKD PS

ORDER

Plaintiff has not paid the fee ordinarily required to file an action in this court, and has filed 

an incomplete application to proceed without prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 

1915(a). Plaintiff indicates that she was previously employed for several years by the United 

States Fish and Wildlife Service. Plaintiff asks for a waiver of fees because she asserts she 

cannot afford expensive legal counsel and because she is disabled. However, plaintiff makes no 

showing regarding her assets, whether she receives disability payments or pension payments, and 

whether she receives income for the care she provides to her parents or other income. On the 

present record, the court cannot make a determination of whether plaintiff is entitled to proceed in 

forma pauperis. Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit either the appropriate 

affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee.

1. Plaintiff shall submit, within fourteen days from the date of this order, either a 

completed application and affidavit in support of her request to proceed in forma pauperis on the

with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed; 

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In 

Forma Pauperis; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to add an additional address for service on plaintiff, 

2767 Cardinal Drive, Lincoln, California 95648; (phone number (916) 434-6517). All future 

orders of the court shall be served on plaintiff at both addresses of record.
