ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
[Dkt. No. 2.]
GONZALO P. CURIEL, District Judge.
On May 3, 2016, Plaintiff Miguel Asmar ("Plaintiff") filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). (Dkt. No. 2.) All proceedings filed with the District Court require a filing fee unless the Court grants IFP status, waiving the fee. Rodriguez v. Cook, 169 F.3d 1176, 1177 (9th Cir. 1999). Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), the Court may waive the filing fee if a party demonstrates an inability to pay by submitting an affidavit reporting all assets of the individual. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
Here, Plaintiff submitted a declaration reporting that he is not presently employed and has not worked since 2008. He states that he receives $198.00 per month in Food Stamps and has Medi-Cal coverage. Plaintiff reported having $8.00 in an account. He owns a 1997 Ford F250. He does not have a checking account and does not own any real estate, stocks, bonds, securities or other valuable property. He lives with his parents, and supports his daughter who is 11 year old. His family gives his daughter $150 per month. He does not any other debts or any other assets.
In consideration of Plaintiff's application, he has sufficiently demonstrated that he is unable to pay the required filing fee and meets the requirements to proceed IFP. Therefore, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's motion to proceed IFP.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
