UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY ALBERT BAGGETT,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF FRESNO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-01024-BAM (PC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTIONS TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF Nos. 2, 5)

Plaintiff Anthony Albert Baggett (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee and former county jail 

inmate appearing pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Individuals 

detained pursuant to California Welfare and Institutions Code § 6600 et seq. are civil detainees 

and are not prisoners within the meaning of the Prison Litigation Reform Act. Page v. Torrey, 

201 F.3d 1136, 1140 (9th Cir. 2000). This action was initiated in the Sacramento Division of the 

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California on August 6, 2024. (ECF No. 

1.) The action was transferred to the Fresno Division on August 28, 2024. (ECF No. 6.)

Currently before the Court are Plaintiff’s motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 

filed August 6, 2024 and August 8, 2024. (ECF Nos. 2, 5.) Examination of these documents 

reveals that Plaintiff is unable to afford the costs of this action. Accordingly, the motions to 

proceed in forma pauperis, (ECF Nos. 2, 5), are HEREBY GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
