Summary
The United States District Court for the Southern District of California denies Frank Anthony Marroquin’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis without prejudice. The court finds that the application does not adequately state whether Plaintiff has funds in a bank account or explain how he meets his living expenses, and directs him either to pay the $405 filing fee or submit a corrected application by May 28, 2025.
Holdings
- An application to proceed in forma pauperis must provide sufficiently particular and definite financial information to allow the court to determine whether the applicant is unable to pay the required filing fee; Plaintiff's application did not meet that requirement.
Questions Presented
- Whether Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis sufficiently demonstrated his inability to pay the filing fee under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
