IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT JULIUS CHATMAN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-2803 MCE JFM PS

vs.

LAURA KUZMAN, dba

1st American Card Service,

Defendant. 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). In the affidavit, plaintiff states he received disability or workers

compensation payments in the past 12 months. However, plaintiff failed to describe the source

of that money, the amount received, and whether he expects to continue to receive those funds. 

Plaintiff also stated he owns a home worth $400,000.00. Plaintiff failed to note whether he owns

the home free and clear, whether he is obligated to pay monthly mortgage payments and, if so,

how much equity interest he has in the home. 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.
