Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

SACRAMENTO SHERIFF
DEPARTMENT, et al.,
Defendants.

15
16

Plaintiff appears to be a civil detainee proceeding without counsel in an action brought

17

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. To proceed with a civil action, a plaintiff must pay the $400 filing fee

18

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) or request leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

19

U.S.C. § 1915(a). Plaintiff has neither paid the fee nor submitted an application for leave to

20

proceed in forma pauperis.

21

Accordingly, plaintiff has 30 days from the date of service of this order to submit either

22

the filing fee or the application required by § 1915(a). The Clerk of the Court is directed to mail

23

to plaintiff a form application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner. Failure to

24

comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
