Defendants.

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.

that this action be dismissed; and
