JOHN WESLEY WILLIAMS,
Plaintiff,

No. 2:16-CV-3002-JAM-CMK-P

ORDER

RILEY, et al.,
Defendants.

/

17

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is defendants’ motion (Doc. 16) for an order

19

pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 151 requiring plaintiff to post security. The

20

court declines to exercise its discretion under this rule to require plaintiff to post security at this

21

time. Defendants’ motion is therefore denied, but without prejudice to defendants seeking

22

revocation of plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
