Plaintiff Jeff Gilbert (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner and proceeds pro se in this action. Plaintiff

Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Accordingly, this Court GRANTS the request to proceed in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1), plaintiff is required to pay the statutory filing fee of $250
