ORDER REGARDING
PLAINTIFF’S NOTICE
(Document 5)
ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO
SUBMIT APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN
FORMA PAUPERIS, OR PAY FILING FEE,
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS

16
Plaintiff Ernesto Ramirez (“Plaintiff”) is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se in this

17
18

civil rights action. He filed his complaint on November 4, 2015.
Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis. As

19
20

a result, the Court issued an order directing him to do so on November 6, 2015.

21

On November 16, 2015, the Court received a notice from Plaintiff indicating that he is no

22

longer in custody. Plaintiff also requests that he be permitted to proceed with this action without

23

paying the filing fee.
Plaintiff’s request is not sufficient to grant in forma pauperis status, as a properly completed

24
25

application is necessary.
