UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

THOMAS P. COOK, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

E. PALUBICKI, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:14-cv-3009-JAM-EFB P (TEMP) 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 and has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis. When plaintiff was released 

from prison in September 2015, his application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(b) was pending. See ECF No. 9. However, because plaintiff has now been 

released from prison, he must submit a non-prisoner application to proceed in forma pauperis or 

pay the filing fee ($400.00), before this case can proceed. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 3) is denied without 

prejudice. 

2. Within thirty days after the filing of this order, plaintiff must pay the filing fee in full 

OR submit a non-prisoner application to proceed in forma pauperis, included herewith. 

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff, together with service of this order, a 

blank in forma pauperis application used by non-prisoners.
