Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-03608-HSG
ORDER DENYING AS MOOT
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO COMPLETE IN FORMA
PAUPERIS APPLICATION
Re: Dkt. No. 8

12
13

Plaintiff, an inmate at Corcoran State Prison (“CSP”), filed this pro se civil rights action

14

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, regarding events that happened at Salinas Valley State Prison

15

(“SVSP”), where he was previously incarcerated. Dkt. No. 1. Plaintiff seeks an extension of time

16

to file a complete in forma pauperis application. Dkt. No. 8. Plaintiff’s request is DENIED as

17

moot. On September 23, 2019, the Court DISMISSED this action without prejudice for failure to

18

either pay the $350 filing fee or file the necessary forms to complete his in forma pauperis

19

application. Dkt. No. 6. Accordingly, plaintiff need not seek an extension of time to file the

20

complete in forma pauperis application. Because the dismissal was without prejudice, plaintiff

21

may move to reopen the action at any time by filing a request to reopen the case, accompanied by

22

a complete in forma pauperis application, i.e., an application with the required certified copy of

23

the plaintiff’s inmate trust account statement for the last six months.

24

This order terminates Dkt. No. 8.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
