UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
FRANKIE GARCIA,
Plaintiff,
v.
COUNTY OF TULARE, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 1:25-cv-01702-BAM
ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO
FILE COMPLETED APPLICATION TO
PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS OR
PAY FILING FEE WITHIN THIRTY
DAYS
(Doc. 2)
Plaintiff Frankie Garcia (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, filed this action on December 1,
2025. (Doc. 1.) Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee in this action and instead has filed an
application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Doc. 2.)
Plaintiff’s handwritten application is not complete and lacks basic information. For
example, Plaintiff does not indicate whether he is employed, nor does he identify whether he has
received income in the past twelve months from certain sources. (Id. at 1-2.) Absent basic
information, the Court is unable to determine if Plaintiff is entitled to proceed without
prepayment of fees or costs.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall file the
attached application to proceed in forma pauperis, completed and signed, or, in the
alternative, pay the $405.00 filing fee for this action.
