ROBERT JOSEPH REEDOM, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.


ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE LONG FORM APPLICATION (ECF No. 2) TWENTY-ONE DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Robert Joseph Reedom, filed a complaint on November 22, 2021, challenging a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying his 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.)

However, with respect to the question regarding Plaintiff's former employment (question 2), Plaintiff fails to provide any response to the question's prompt to “state the date of your last employment, the amount of your take-hone salary or wages and pay period and the name and address of your last employer.” (Id. at 1.) Thus, it appears Plaintiff's application was not sufficiently completed for the Court to determine if he is entitled to proceed in this action without prepayment of fees.

Accordingly, the Court will order Plaintiff to complete and file an Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form) - AO 239. If Plaintiff is unwilling to complete and submit the long form application, Plaintiff must pay the filing fee in full.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiffs application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is DENIED without prejudice;
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to forward an in forma pauperis application (Long Form) to Plaintiff;
3. Within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this order, Plaintiff shall either (1) pay the $402.00 filing fee for this action, or (2) file a long form application to proceed in forma pauperis without prepayment of the fee; and
4. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order, this action shall be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
