v.

ORDER TO PAY FILING FEE
OR FILE APPLICATION TO
PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

KEVIN EIKENBERRY,

8

Defendant.

10

On April 12, 2024, Plaintiff Andrea Wood (“Wood”) submitted a civil rights

11

complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No. 1-1). Wood has neither paid the full $402

12

filing fee for this matter nor filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

13

Under Local Rule LSR 1-1, a person who is unable to prepay the fees in a civil

14

case may apply to the Court for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The application must

15

be made on the form provided by the Court and must include a financial affidavit

16

disclosing the applicant’s income, assets, expenses, and liabilities.

17
18

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED the Clerk of the Court shall SEND Wood the
approved form application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-inmate.

19

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before May 15, 2024, Wood will either: (1)

20

pay the full $405 filing fee for a civil action (which includes the $350 filing fee and the $55

21

administrative fee); or (2) file with the Court a completed Application to Proceed in Forma

22

Pauperis for Non-Inmate on this Court’s approved form, along with a completed and

23

signed financial affidavit. Failure to do so will result in a recommendation to the District

24

Court to dismiss the complaint.

25

The Court will retain Wood’s civil rights complaint, (ECF No. 1-1), but will not file it

26

unless and until Wood timely complies with this order.
