May 1, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 11 ORDER finding as moot #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis in light of the payment of the filing fee on 5/1/23. Signed by Judge Maria E. Garcia on 5/1/23. (Cabral, Donald)

April 19, 2023 Filing 10 NOTICE OF INSUFFICIENCY. To prevail on a Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis, Plaintiff must establish he is "unable to pay" by providing the Court the full picture of his financial situation. 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1). Plaintiff declared no income, assets, or obligations in his financial affidavit in support of his #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. Courts have held that such affidavits do not establish an inability to pay the filing fee because no one can possibly live on zero income and have found that such affidavits must necessarily be incomplete. In the case of Pierre v. City of Rochester, for example, the court denied a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis when the plaintiff "claim[ed] that he ha[d] no assets and receive[d] no support from a spouse or from any other source," because he "offer[ed] no explanation for how he survives day-to-day or how his monthly expenses are paid." No. 16-CV-6428 (CJS), 2018 WL 10072449, at *1 (W.D.N.Y. Dec. 13, 2018). The court added that if a plaintiff has no income of his own, but is instead being supported by another person, he should list that support on his affidavit because "[i]n assessing an application to proceed in forma pauperis, a court may consider the resources that the applicant has or can get from those who ordinarily provide the applicant with the necessities of life, such as from a spouse, parent, adult sibling or next friend." Id. (quoting Fridman v. City of N.Y., 195 F. Supp. 2d 534, 537 (S.D.N.Y. 2002)).Here, Plaintiff declared that his parents financially support him but provided no details of their financial resources that the applicant can get. Therefore, by May 1, 2023, Plaintiff must either (a) pay the filing fee or (b) submit a revised financial affidavit clarifying his parents resources and their ability to pay the filing fee. Plaintiff is respectfully advised that, if he neither pays the filing fee nor obtains leave to proceed in forma pauperis, his case may be dismissed. Signed by Judge Maria E. Garcia on 4/19/23. (Cabral, Donald)
