UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JENIFFER SAVEIN PHOU,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Acting Commissioner Of Social Security,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00782-SMS

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2) 

By motion filed June 5, 2016, Plaintiff Jeniffer Savein Phou, by her attorney, Jacqueline A. 

Forslund, seeks to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff submitted an application which is 

incomplete. Specifically, Plaintiff provided no answers concerning her incarceration and 

employment status. Absent complete information regarding Plaintiff’s financial situation, the Court 

cannot evaluate whether Plaintiff is sufficiently impoverished to justify proceeding without paying 

the filing fee for her lawsuit. 

Additionally, the Court notes Plaintiff did not identify the proper court, provide a case 

number, and declare her status as the petitioner/plaintiff/movant on her application. If Plaintiff 

elects to submit an amended application, as this order permits her to do, she must provide a complete 

application. 

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff 

shall either submit an amended and complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the

filing fee to the Clerk of the Court within thirty (30) days of this order. If Plaintiff does not pay the 

filing fee or submit an amended application, the Court shall dismiss the case for lack of prosecution 

without further notice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
