plaintiff. Plaintiff has also filed a notice that he wishes time to reply to the defendants’ response.

That request is granted. Plaintiff may file a reply within 14 days of the date of this order.

23

In addition, plaintiff filed a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

24

submitted an affidavit as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). This request was granted on January

26

statement as required by the statute. Plaintiff has met this requirement, and filed a new
