United States District Court

Eastern District of California 

David C. Rivers,

Plaintiff, No. Civ. S 04-2524 GEB PAN P

vs. Order

E. Roszko, et al.,

Defendants.

-oOoNovember 29, 2004, plaintiff filed a civil rights complaint

and an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff was a prisoner when he filed but is now

at liberty.

Plaintiff’s affidavit demonstrates that, because of poverty,

he cannot pay or give security for court costs and still be able

to provide himself with the necessities of life. See Adkins v.

E.I. Dupont de Nemours & Co., 335 U.S. 331, 339 (1948).
