ORDER

THOMAS A. FERRARA, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff, a county 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 application 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 application to

21

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.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

2

1. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an application to

3

proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court, or the required fees in the

4

amount of $400.00; plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation

5

that this action be dismissed; and

6

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In

7

Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner.
