The Court, having reviewed plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis, does

19 hereby find and ORDER.
20

Plaintiff’s declaration indicates that he is unable to afford the Court’s filing fee or give

21 security therefore. Accordingly, plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. 1) is
22 GRANTED. Plaintiff is not a prisoner within the meaning of the Prison Litigation Reform Act.
23 The portion of the act requiring a prisoner to pay the filing fee in installments does not apply to
24 plaintiff. Plaintiff does not appear to have funds available to afford the $400.00 filing fee.
ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO
PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS - 1

1 Plaintiff shall note that leave to proceed as a pauper does not necessarily entitle plaintiff to a
2 waiver of any other cost(s) of litigation.

The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff.
