GLORIA CASTANEDA, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO ISSUE SUMMONS AND SERVE DEFENDANT UNDER E-SERVICE PROGRAM (ECF NO. 2)
Plaintiff Gloria Castaneda (“Plaintiff”') filed a complaint on April 19, 2022, challenging a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying her application for disability benefits. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee in this action and instead filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF No. 2.) Plaintiff's application demonstrates entitlement to proceed without prepayment of fees.
The Court shall order that the complaint in this action be served, pursuant to paragraph 1 of the scheduling order to be issued in this action, which provides that service of the Defendant shall proceed under the Court's E-service program.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is GRANTED;
2. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to issue a summons and new case
documents; and
3. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to deliver to the Commissioner of Social Security Administration and the United States Attorney's Office at their designated email addresses, a notice of electronic filing of this action along with the summons and complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
