Ryan Abair v. Saks Fifth Avenue Retail Company, 5:25-cv-00469

Ryan Abair filed a civil case against Saks Fifth Avenue Retail Company in the Central District of California.
Abair sought to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP), asking to waive court filing fees due to financial inability, but the request was incomplete.
The court specifically requested a fully completed CV-60 form and a one-page explanation of how Abair paid for daily expenses despite alleged lack of income or resources.
The court warned Abair that failure to comply with these instructions or pay the filing fee within 30 days would result in dismissal without prejudice.
Instead of complying, Abair filed a variety of unrelated documents but did not clarify the financial discrepancy or submit the required forms.
As a result, the court dismissed the case without prejudice for failure to comply and for not establishing IFP status or paying the filing fee.
