IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MIGUEL E. DIAZ, No. CIV S-07-0020-WBS-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

D.K. SISTO, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 28, 2008, the court issued an order for plaintiff to show cause

why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court

orders. Plaintiff had previously been ordered to either pay the filing fees or submit a completed

application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff has now filed a completed application and

responded to the order to show cause. The order to show cause is therefore discharged. 

Plaintiff’s complaint will be addressed separately.

Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a). The request to proceed in forma pauperis will, therefore, be granted.

forwarded by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of the Court each time the amount in plaintiff’s

§ 1915(b)(2).
