WORLD SAVINGS BANK, Defendant. / Plaintiff, who is proceeding without counsel and has not paid the fee ordinarily required to file an action in this court, has filed an incomplete application to proceed without the prepayment of fees and costs, also known as an application to proceed "in forma pauperis" (Dkt. No. 2). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). First, although plaintiff's application indicates that he owns a home, plaintiff answered "None" to question 5 in the application, which asks the applicant to describe, among other things, any real estate owned by the applicant and the approximate value of that property. (Dkt. No. 2 at 2.) Second, plaintiff provided no response to question 8, which asks the applicant to describe the amounts owed on any debts or financial obligations and to whom those debts or financial obligations are owed. (Id.) Without a completed application, the court is unable to properly evaluate whether plaintiff should be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff will be provided with an 1 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA EDUARDO DACUMOS, Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-00854 FCD KJN PS ORDER
