Plaintiff, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action 

seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate 

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

ordered to file a new application to proceed in forma pauperis that is used for non-prisoners. ECF

unable to prepay fees and costs or give security for them. Id. at 3. Therefore, Plaintiff’s new 

request to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted.
