DAVID SHERMAN BEANS, Plaintiff, v. WASHINGTON MUTUAL, et aL, Defendants.

United States District Court Judge
ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
On June 30, 2011, Plaintiff filed a Complaint and an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees. It is unclear if the Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees is even intended for this Court as it lacks a designation as to the District Court in which the Application is filed. Moreover, the Application is incomplete, as Plaintiff has failed to designate whether he is currently incarcerated, currently employed or when/if he was last employed. An indigent litigant seeking to proceed in forma pauperis must file an affidavit that includes a statement of that person's assets and his inability to pay fees. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Further, the Application appears to be missing the second page and fails to contain a declaration under perjury signed by the Plaintiff acknowledging the truth of the information provided. Without this information, the Court is unable to grant or deny Plaintiff's Application.
The Court will allow Plaintiff until August 22, 2011 to file a conforming Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees. If such an Application is not received on or before that date, Plaintiffs case will be dismissed without further notice from the Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
