(Doc. No. 7.) The Court reviews Plaintiff’s complaint under 28 U.S.C. 22 section 1915(e), as required when a litigant files a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. 23 Having reviewed Plaintiff’s submission, the Court GRANTS the IFP motion and 24 incorporates its prior ruling in its October 26, 2022 Order finding the Complaint satisfies 25 the minimal pleading standards for social security appeals. (See Doc. No. 6, 3:3-16.) 26 Plaintiff’s Renewed IFP Motion affirms that Plaintiff’s only source of income is $350.00 27 per month in food stamps, and his monthly expenses total $1,100.00. He adds that his only 28 asset is a 2012 Dodge Challenger SXT valued at $5,000.00 and has not worked since 1 || January 22, 2021. (Doc. No. 7, 2.) Collectively, these representations demonstrate Plaintiff 2 ||1is unable to pay the filing fee and thus satisfy the burden Plaintiff bears under 28 U.S.C. 3 || section 1915.28 U.S.C. § 1914(a); Rodriguez v. Cook, 169 F.3d 1176, 1177 (9th Cir. 1999). 4 IT IS SO ORDERED. 5 || DATED: November 18, 2022 6 A Ss 7 Hon. William V.
