U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not paid the $400.00 filing fee, or submitted an application to

19

proceed in forma pauperis on the appropriate form. On May 5, 2017, the Court ordered

20

Plaintiff to submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the $400.00 filing

fee. (ECF No. 3.) On May 24, 2017, Plaintiff attempted to file a motion to proceed in

pauperis in this action, Plaintiff must use the application provided by the Court on May 5,

24

2017. Another copy of the correct application will be provided with this Order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

Within twenty-one (21) days of the date of service of this Order, Plaintiff shall

27

submit the attached application to proceed in forma pauperis, completed and signed, or

28
