Dunn v. Unified District School Clovis

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California adopted the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations and denied Alana Dunn’s application to proceed in forma pauperis. The court ordered her to pay the $405 filing fee within 21 days, warning that failure to do so would result in dismissal without prejudice.

Holdings

1. Plaintiff failed to demonstrate that she was unable to pay the filing fee while providing necessities for herself and her dependents; therefore, her application to proceed in forma pauperis was properly denied.

Questions Presented

1. Whether plaintiff established indigency sufficient to proceed in forma pauperis.
2. Whether the magistrate judge's findings and recommendations should be adopted after de novo review of plaintiff's objections.
