This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s civil rights complaint (doc. # 1), filed April 1,

therefor, by a person who submits an affidavit that includes a statement showing the person is unable

23

to pay such costs. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1); see also LSR 1-1.

27

form for pro se litigants, and Plaintiff shall have until May 9, 2015 in which to submit the completed
