UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ERIK EALY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CALIFORNIA CORRECTIONAL 

HEALTH CARE SERVICES, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-1579 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not, however, filed a properly completed in forma pauperis affidavit1

or paid the required filing fee of $350.00 plus the $50.00 administrative fee.2

 See 28 U.S.C. §§ 

1914(a), 1915(a). Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit a fully completed affidavit 

in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the required fees totaling 

 

1

 Specifically, plaintiff did not answer Questions 2, 3 or 7, and did not provide the date of his 

signature. All questions must be answered in a newly-filed in forma pauperis application, and 

bear the date of plaintiff’s signature. Plaintiff’s notation that his signature was made “‘without 

prejudice UCC 1-308,” presumably intended to imply that plaintiff reserves his substantive rights 

notwithstanding his signature, has no significance in this context. 

2

 Litigants proceeding in forma pauperis are not required to pay the $50.00 administrative fee. If 

leave to file in forma pauperis is granted, plaintiff will still be required to pay the filing fee but 

will be allowed to pay it in installments.

$400.00. Plaintiff need not provide another certified copy of his prison trust account statement 

for the six-month period preceding the filing of this action. 

 In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Plaintiff shall, within thirty days from the date of this order, submit a fully-completed 

affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided herewith by 

the Clerk of Court, or the required fees in the amount of $400.00. 

 2. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this 

action be dismissed; and 

 3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff, together with a copy of this order, a 

new Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner. 

DATED: July 18, 2016
