Plaintiff is a California civil detainee proceeding with an action for violation of

civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 25, 2005, the court ordered plaintiff to show cause

within 120 days of plaintiff filing his complaint. In response to the court’s order to show cause,

plaintiff requests that he be granted in forma pauperis status and that the U.S. Marshal be

directed to serve defendants. However, plaintiff has not submitted a completed application to

proceed in forma pauperis.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court send plaintiff an application to proceed in forma

pauperis; and
