UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 NYASIA PEREIRA, No. 2:22–cv–0073–KJM–KJN PS Plaintiff, v. ORDER UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, (ECF No. 2) Defendant. 16 Plaintiff, who is proceeding without counsel in this action, requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). (ECF No. 2.) See 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (authorizing the commencement of an action “without prepayment of fees or security” by a person who is unable to pay such fees). Because the IFP application is incomplete, the court denies plaintiff’s IFP request for now but allows plaintiff to re-submit a complete application within 30 days. Further, because plaintiff’s complaint contains no factual allegations, plaintiff shall also have 30 days to file an amended complaint. /// /// /// 27 1 Actions where a party proceeds without counsel are referred to a magistrate judge pursuant to E.D.
