Case No. C17-0798-RSM

Plaintiff filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Dkt. 1. The application is

14 deficient because, although plaintiff signed the Written Consent for Payment of Costs Under
15 Local Rule CR 3(b) section of the application, he indicated his rejection of that language by
16 crossing it out. Dkt. 1 at 2. This Court’s local rules require that a party proceeding in forma
17 pauperis consent that

the recovery, if any, in the action, to such amount as the court may
direct, shall be paid to the clerk who may pay therefrom all unpaid
fees and costs taxed against the plaintiff, and to his attorney the
amount which the court allows or approves as compensation for
the attorney's services.

21 LCR 3(c). Plaintiff must correct this deficiency no later than June 20, 2017. He may do so by
22 filing a new, complete IFP application and written consent for payment of costs form. Failure to
23 correct the deficiency may result in a recommendation that this matter be dismissed.
