On June 24, 2013, plaintiff, a California prisoner then incarcerated at the Martinez

16

Detention Facility and proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled civil rights action pursuant to 42

17

U.S.C. § 1983. On the same day, plaintiff filed an application seeking leave to proceed in forma

18

pauperis (IFP) indicating that he had no funds in his prisoner trust account to pay the $400.00

19

filing fee. Thereafter, by notice filed July 3, 2013, plaintiff informed the court that he had been

20

released from prison and is residing in Richmond. Consequently, should plaintiff be granted leave

21

to proceed IFP based on the information provided in the prisoner’s IFP application he submitted,

22

the court will be unable to collect the funds from plaintiff’s prisoner trust account as required

23

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b). Therefore, no later than fourteen days from the date of this Order,

24

plaintiff either shall (1) pay the $400.00 filing fee in this action, or (2) file a completed non-

25

prisoner IFP application. If plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, the case will be dismissed

26

without prejudice.

///

1

The Clerk of the Court shall provide plaintiff with a non-prisoner IFP application.

2

IT IS SO ORDERED.
