UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LANCE WILLIAMS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

L. ZARAGOZA, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:21-cv-0153 TLN AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this 

civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United 

States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

 On December 12, 2022, the court ordered plaintiff to file an application to proceed in 

forma pauperis for a person who is not in custody. ECF No. 12 at 3. At that time, the court also 

ordered the Clerk of Court to send plaintiff a copy of the court’s non-prisoner in forma pauperis 

application. Id. at 3. 

 Recently, plaintiff filed an in forma pauperis application. ECF No. 13. However, the 

application filed is one for a prisoner, not one for a non-prisoner. See id. Therefore, the Clerk of 

Court will be ordered a second time to send plaintiff a copy of the court’s in forma pauperis 

application for a non-prisoner, and plaintiff will be given thirty days to complete and file it with 

the court.
