Case No. 1:16-cv-01751-BAM (PC)
ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW
CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION SHOULD NOT
BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO
PROSECUTE AND FAILURE TO OBEY A
COURT ORDER
(ECF No. 5)
16
Plaintiff Matthew Allen (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil
17
18
rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on November 18, 2016 (ECF
19
No. 1), and has consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. (ECF No. 6.)
On November 22, 2016, the Court issued an order to submit an application to proceed in
20
21
forma pauperis or pay the filing fee within forty-five (45) days. (ECF No. 3.) Plaintiff failed to
22
submit the application. Therefore, on January 17, 2017, the Court issued an order directing
23
Plaintiff to either (1) complete and return an application to proceed in forma pauperis, or in the
24
alternative, pay the $400.00 filing fee for this action; or (2) show cause in writing why this action
25
should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to obey a court order. (ECF No. 5, p.
26
2.) On January 23, 2017, Plaintiff submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF
27
No. 7.)

Based on Plaintiff’s submission of the application to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court
2
finds good cause to discharge the January 17, 2017 order. Accordingly, the Court’s January 17,
3
2017 order to show cause is HEREBY DISCHARGED. The Court advises Plaintiff that his
4
application to proceed in forma pauperis will be addressed in due course.
