MARK MCCLOSKEY, et al., 15 Defendants. 16

17 Pending before the Court is Plaintiff Leena Hannonen’s motion for leave to appeal 18 in forma pauperis (“IFP”). Under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24, “a party to a 19 district-court action who desires to appeal in forma pauperis must file a motion in the 20 district court.” Fed. R. App. P. 24. Plaintiff is self-represented and completed the Ninth 21 Circuit’s Form 4: Motion and Affidavit for Permission to Proceed in Forma Pauperis. (ECF 22 No. 36-1.) Plaintiff’s motion also included a Notice of Appeal. (ECF No. 36.) 23 However, the Court notes that only one Plaintiff who is seeking to appeal completed 24 the application. The Court lacks information as to whether Plaintiff Agnes Bradshaw 25 should be permitted to proceed IFP. “Where there are multiple plaintiffs in a single action, 26 the plaintiffs may not proceed in forma pauperis unless all of them demonstrate inability 27 to pay the filing fee.” Tom v. Wells Fargo Bank N.A., No. 19-cv-00545-JMS-KJM, 2019

, at *1 (S.D. Cal. Oct. 27, 2010) 2 addition, although only one filing fee needs to be paid per case, if multiple plaintiffs 3 || seek to proceed in forma pauperis, each plaintiff must qualify for IFP status.’’). “Thus, each 4 ||named plaintiff must submit separate applications to proceed as a pauper before a court 5 || will grant multiple plaintiffs in forma pauperis status in one action.” Remmert v. Newsome, 6 || No. 23-cv-00050-ADA-HBK,

, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 31, 2023). 7 Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff Agnes Bradshaw to file an application to 8 || proceed IFP on or before November 13, 2025. Otherwise, Plaintiff Agnes Bradshaw will 9 to pay the filling fee to appeal. 10 IT IS SO ORDERED. 11 12 || DATED: October 30, 2025 (yatta Bahar B H n.
