IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARLOS HENDON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-2935 FCD EFB P 

vs.

KNOWLES, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On December 15, 2009, the court found that plaintiff had not filed an in forma

pauperis affidavit or paid the appropriate filing fee, and recommended that this action be

dismissed without prejudice. Dckt. No. 5. On December 22, 2009, plaintiff filed objections. 

Dckt. No. 6. Plaintiff states that he was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis in another

civil action, and states his belief that he is therefore not obligated to pay the filing fee in this

action. Id. Plaintiff is cautioned that even if he is proceeding in forma pauperis in another action

that he has filed, he must still submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis in this action. 

The court will vacate its December 15, 2009 findings and recommendations and give plaintiff

one final opportunity either to pay the filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma

pauperis.
