Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

 On July 5, 2007, the court issued an order requiring plaintiff to file a new application to proceed

in forma pauperis, or in the alternative, to pay the $350.00 filing fee for this action. The order was

served on plaintiff at the address in the court’s record, 4315 Manhattan Beach Blvd., Lawndale,

 According to the court's record, plaintiff had not notified the court of any change in his address. Absent such 1

notice, service at a party’s prior address is fully effective. Local Rule 83-182(f). 

2

California 90260. On July 31, 2007, the mail to plaintiff was returned to the court by the postal service

as undeliverable as addressed. On September 14, 2007, the court submitted findings and 1

recommendations to United States District Judge Anthony W. Ishii to dismiss plaintiff s case for failure

to comply with the court’s order of July 5, 2007.

A review of plaintiff's file shows that plaintiff has never used the address in Lawndale, California

in this action since the complaint was filed on May 18, 2007. All of plaintiff's documents in this action

plainly show his address as P.O. Box 1906, Tehachapi, California 93581. It is apparent the court's

record requires correction to reflect plaintiff's current address in this action. That being the case, the

address shall be corrected and the court shall vacate its finding and recommendation of September 14,

2007. 

Plaintiff shall be given another opportunity to submit a new application to proceed in forma

pauperis, or in the alternative, to pay the $350.00 filing fee for this action. The application previously

submitted by plaintiff on May 18, 2007, was deficient because it did not include the required original

signature of an authorized prison official. Furthermore, plaintiff has not submitted a certified copy of

his prison trust account statement pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

In light of the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation of September 14, 2007, is VACATED;

2. The Clerk is DIRECTED to update the court's record to reflect plaintiff's current address

at Tehachapi, California; 

3. The Clerk is DIRECTED to send to plaintiff an application to proceed in forma pauperis;

and

4. Within thirty days of the date of service of this order, plaintiff SHALL:

(a) submit a new application to proceed in forma pauperis which includes the

required original signature of an authorized prison official, and a certified copy

preceding the filing of the complaint; 

OR in the alternative,

(b) pay the $350.00 filing fee for this action.

Failure to comply with this order shall result in a recommendation that this action be

dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
