Williams v. County of Ventura

443 F. App'x 232

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Carroll Dean Williams appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his application to pursue his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action in forma pauperis. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Calhoun v. Stahl, 254 F.3d 845, 845 (9th Cir.2001) (per curiam), and we affirm.

Because Williams failed to provide sufficient details concerning his income, assets, and expenditures, the district court did not abuse its discretion by finding that Williams would be able to pay the filing fee. See United States v. McQuade, 647 F.2d 938, 940 (9th Cir.1981) (per curiam) (an affidavit claiming poverty in support of a motion made under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 must state the relevant facts “with some particularity, definiteness, and certainty”).

Williams’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
