Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C § 1983.

18

(Docket No. 1.) Plaintiff’s case was dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee. (Docket No. 4.)

19

Plaintiff then filed a motion for reconsideration. (Docket No. 6.) The Court denied the motion

20

for reconsideration, but granted Plaintiff two extensions of time to file an application to proceed

21

in forma pauperis (“IFP”). (Docket Nos. 10, 14.) The litigation coordinator at the correctional

22

institution where Plaintiff is located informed the Court that Plaintiff requested and obtained a

23

completed IFP application, and that it was sent to the Court on February 19, 2013. The Court

24

has not received the completed IFP application. The Court was also informed that Plaintiff will

25

need to reinitiate the institutional procedure for obtaining another IFP application.

26

Accordingly, on its own motion, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff an extension of time to file

27

an IFP application. Plaintiff is directed to reinitiate the institutional procedure for obtaining

28

another IFP application, specifically, a certificate of funds, and file it with the Court within sixty
