UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

COREY WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

PRICE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00312-BAM (PC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AS A 

NON-PRISONER

(ECF No. 6)

Plaintiff Corey Williams (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee appearing pro se in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Individuals detained pursuant to California Welfare 

and Institutions Code § 6600 et seq. are civil detainees and are not prisoners within the meaning 

of the Prison Litigation Reform Act. Page v. Torrey, 201 F.3d 1136, 1140 (9th Cir. 2000).

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 

filed March 16, 2020. (ECF No. 6.) Examination of these documents reveals that Plaintiff is 

unable to afford the costs of this action. Accordingly, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis, 

(ECF No. 6), is HEREBY GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
