MEMORANDUM **

Peter Thomas McCarthy appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his application to proceed in forma pauperis. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Tripoli v. First Nat’l Bank & Trust, 821 F.2d 1368, 1369 (9th Cir. 1987), and we affirm. The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying McCarthy’s request to proceed in forma pauperis in light of the monthly income and assets McCarthy reported in his financial affidavit. See Rowland v. Cal. Men’s Colony, 506 U.S. 194, 203, 113 S.Ct. 716, 121 L.Ed.2d 656 (1993) (an individual is indigent under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 if he is unable to pay fees and still provide the necessities of life for himself and any dependents). McCarthy’s contention that the district court failed to apply the correct legal standard is unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
