Case No.: 1:12-at-00013

THOMAS QUEVEDO, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER ON APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
(Docket No. 3)
On January 9, 2012, Plaintiff Thomas Quevedo ("Plaintiff") filed a complaint and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (Docs. 1, 3.) The Court determined that Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis failed to provide complete responses to Questions 2b and 3.
Specifically, the application failed to provide the address of Plaintiff's former employer as required in Question 2b and failed to answer either "yes" or "no" as required to the subparts of Question 3. As such, the Court cannot make a final determination as to Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis. Further, Question 4 indicates that Plaintiff has $7,500 in savings. Plaintiff should, therefore, provide an explanation demonstrating why it is appropriate for him to proceed in forma pauperis.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff file a revised application to proceed in forma pauperis within ten (10) days of the date of this order. IT IS SO ORDERED.
