REQUEST OF PRO BONO FOR PRE-APPF OVAL OF EXPENDITURES
Complete this form and return it to the court (with two opies) for approval prior to incurring the

I, IJeff Dominic Price

, attorn y for plaintiff(s), declare as follows:

I was appointed to represent plaintiff( s) in this action en IFebruary 26, 2015
, by the
Honorable IKimberly J. Mueller
, United States District JudgelMagistrate.
I believe that the following course of action is reasor ably necessary to the prosecution of this
action:

It is necessary to travel to Kern Valley State Prison on Friday, September 2, 2016, to visit with my client, Bernard
Hughes, to discuss the opposition to the motion to dismiss, which is due September 16, 2016. This is the only
time I can arrange to travel up to KVSP before the due date. Car rental =$66.17, fuel =approximately $32.00,
Total = $98.17.

(e.g., deposition of _____________, defendant herein).

I have made reasonable inquiry and believe that the cost of this course of action will not exceed
the amount of$198.17.
I therefore request that this court authorize the expenditure in an amount not to exceed that stated
above for the completion of this contemplated course of action.
