UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEREMIAH PORTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. CLARK KELSO et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1183 DAD P

ORDER

On June 23, 2015, this court granted plaintiff’s motion for a thirty-day extension of time 

to file a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis. To date, plaintiff has not complied 

with this court’s order. He has, however, filed a motion for immediate relief in which he seeks 

assistance from the court because he is having difficulty completing his in forma pauperis

application paperwork due to the alleged misconduct of prison officials. 

Good cause appearing, the court will construe plaintiff’s motion for immediate relief as a 

motion for an extension of time and will grant plaintiff an additional thirty days to file a 

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis. If plaintiff continues to experience problems 

completing his in forma pauperis application he should first seek relief at his institution of 

incarceration. See Cal. Code Regs. tit. 15, § 3084.1(a) (prisoners may appeal “any policy, 

decision, action, condition, or omission by the department or its staff that the inmate or parolee 

can demonstrate as having a material adverse effect upon his or her health, safety, or welfare.”).
