Opinion
Case No. C10-5133RBL.
March 3, 2010
ORDER
THIS MATTER comes on before the above-entitled Court upon Plaintiff's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Having considered the entirety of the records and file herein, the Court finds and rules as follows:
The Court has broad discretion in determining an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Weller v. Dickson, 314 F.2d 598 (9th Cir.), cert denied, 375 U.S. 845 (1963). As of the date of filing of this case, Plaintiff listed as an asset an investment property worth $280,000 and reported $2,500 per month in rental income. She also indicates that she has no one dependent upon her for support. Furthermore, Plaintiff has failed to submit a Written Consent for Payment of Costs as required by CR3(b), Local Rules W.D. Wash.
It appears that Plaintiff is able to pay the filing fee in this case, and should be required to do so. Accordingly, Plaintiff's application is DENIED.
Plaintiff shall have 30 days from entry of this Order to pay the required fee or this matter will be dismissed without further notice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
The Clerk shall send uncertified copies of this order to all counsel of record, and to any party appearing pro se.
