UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT KEITH ERNST,

Plaintiff,

v.

CARL FABIAN, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:24-cv-2949 CSK P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed his original complaint on October 25, 2024. (ECF No. 1.) 

Plaintiff did not file an application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee. 

Accordingly, on November 5, 2024, this Court granted plaintiff thirty days to file an application 

to proceed in forma pauperis or to pay the filing fees. (ECF No. 3.) Plaintiff filed an amended 

complaint on November 15, 2024. (ECF No. 4.) 

Thirty days passed from November 5, 2024 and plaintiff did not file an application to 

proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fees. Because it appears that plaintiff intends to 

prosecute this action, plaintiff is granted an additional thirty days to file an application to proceed 

in forma pauperis or to pay the filing fees. Failure to comply with this order will result in a 

recommendation of dismissal of this action.
