UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY CLEVELAND,

Plaintiff,

v.

THOMAS C. HUNTON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01732-AWI-SAB

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 4)

On November 16, 2016, Plaintiff Timothy Cleveland (“Plaintiff”) filed the complaint in 

this action, along with an application to proceed in forma pauperis without prepayment of the 

filing fee. (ECF Nos. 1, 2.) Plaintiff was ordered to file a long form application within twenty 

one days of November 18, 2016. (ECF No. 3.) On December 2, 2016, Plaintiff filed a long form 

application to proceed without prepayment of fees. (ECF No. 4.)

Plaintiff’s application demonstrates entitlement to proceed without prepayment of fees. 

Notwithstanding this order, the Court does not direct that service be undertaken until the Court 

screens the complaint in due course and issues its screening order.

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 8, 2016
