UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RAYMOND ALFORD BRADFORD, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

P. SAFY, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:21-cv-0637-TLN-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On May 19, 2021, the court issued findings and recommendations which 

recommended dismissal of this action after plaintiff failed to pay the filing fee required by 28 

U.S.C. § 1914(a) or request leave to proceed in forma pauperis and submit the affidavit and trust 

account statement required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). ECF No. 9. Thereafter, plaintiff filed a 

declaration stating that a correctional officer was supposed to have mailed his completed in forma 

pauperis application to the court. ECF No. 10. To date, the court has not received plaintiff’s 

application. In an abundance of caution, the court will grant plaintiff an extension of time to pay 

the filing fee or file an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.1

 If plaintiff experiences a delay in obtaining a certified trust account statement, he may 

simply file a signed application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis without it. In that case, the 

court will order the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to submit the trust 

account statement directly to the court.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff has 30 days from the date of 

service of this order to pay the filing fee or file an application for leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis. The Clerk of the Court is directed to mail to plaintiff a form application for leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis. Should plaintiff fail to timely comply, the findings and 

recommendations will be submitted to the district judge for consideration. 

DATED: May 26, 2021.
