UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERRY JONES,

Plaintiff,

v.

PINA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:23-cv-01271 GSA (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S NONPRISONER APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 13)

Plaintiff, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this 

civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United 

States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On November 9, 2023, Plaintiff filed a notice of change of address with the Court. ECF 

No. 11. The notice indicated that Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. Id. As a result, Plaintiff was 

ordered to file a new application to proceed in forma pauperis that is used for non-prisoners. ECF 

No. 12.

Plaintiff has filed the application to proceed in forma pauperis for non-prisoners. ECF 

No. 13. He has submitted the affidavit required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1) showing that he is 

unable to prepay fees and costs or give security for them. Id. Therefore, Plaintiff’s new request 

to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted.
