UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAURICE HUNT,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANDRE MATEVOUSIAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:16-cv-01592-BAM (PC)

ORDER DENYING IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

APPLICATION WITHOUT PREJUDICE

(ECF No. 3)

ORDER TO SUBMIT PRISONER 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING FEE WITHIN 

FORTY-FIVE (45) DAYS

Plaintiff Maurice Hunt (“Plaintiff”) is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil 

action pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 

U.S. 388, 91 S. Ct. 1999 (1971). On October 21, 2016, this action was opened pursuant to an 

order directing this complaint be filed as a separate action, because it raised different claims that 

those asserted in 1:15-cv-01457-DAD-SAB-PC, where this complaint was originally filed. (ECF 

No. 1.) 

Plaintiff’s motion requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915 was also filed in this new action. (ECF No. 3.) However, Plaintiff’s application form is 

outdated, and does not contain sufficient information for the court to evaluate his application. 

Plaintiff must submit the proper form if he wishes his application to be considered.
