ORDER

B. LEE, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42

17
18

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the

19

required filing fee of $350.00 plus the $50.00 administrative fee.1 See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a),

20

1915(a). Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity either to submit the appropriate affidavit in

21

support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the required fees totaling $400.00.
Plaintiff is cautioned that the in forma pauperis application form includes a section that

22
23

must be completed by a prison official, and the form must be accompanied by a certified copy of

24

plaintiff’s prison trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the

25

filing of this action.

If leave to file in forma pauperis is granted, plaintiff will still be required to pay the filing fee
but will be allowed to pay it in installments. Litigants proceeding in forma pauperis are not
required to pay the $50.00 administrative fee.

support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court, or

in a recommendation that this action be dismissed; and
