No. 2:17-cv-1637 DB P

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

J. MA, et al.,
Defendants.

17

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

18

U.S.C. § 1983. By order dated October 26, 2018, the court screened plaintiff’s complaint and

19

determined plaintiff stated a potentially cognizable claim under the Eighth Amendment. (ECF

20

No. 10.) The court also found that plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis was

21

incomplete. Plaintiff was directed to submit a properly completed application or submit payment

22

of the filing fee within thirty days. Those thirty days have passed, and plaintiff has not submitted

23

an updated application, updated his address, or otherwise responded to the court’s order.

24

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

25

1. Plaintiff shall submit, within fourteen days from the date of this order, an updated

26

application to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court,

27

or the required fees in the amount of $400.00; plaintiff’s failure to comply with this

28

order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed; and

Forma Pauperis by a Prisoner.
