Plaintiff is a former prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action pursuant to
42 U.S.C. § 1983.

22

On December 27, 2016, Plaintiff submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis,

23

pursuant to the court’s order of November 17, 2016. (ECF No. 16.) The application is

26

application, he has written “Sign to Verify Name and Not to Enter a Non-disclosed Contract.”

(Id. at 2.) Plaintiff is required to submit a new, appropriately completed application, bearing

28

his name and signature, or pay the $400.00 filing fee for this action, within twenty (20) days.
