UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRYAN PATTERSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE CITY OF VALLEJO CALIFORNIA, 

et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-0595 GEB CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 

1983. On May 17, 2016, the undersigned recommended that this action be dismissed due to 

plaintiff’s failure to file a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 7.)

On June 7, 2016, plaintiff filed a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

(ECF No. 8.) Accordingly, the court will vacate its earlier findings and recommendation that this 

action be dismissed. This action will proceed on the complaint filed March 22, 2016, subject to 

screening. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). 

Since plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(a), his request will be granted. Plaintiff is required to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 

for this action. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(b)(1). By separate order, the court will direct the 

appropriate agency to collect the initial partial filing fee from plaintiff’s trust account and forward

it to the Clerk of the Court. Thereafter, plaintiff will be obligated for monthly payments of 

twenty percent of the preceding month’s income credited to plaintiff’s prison trust account. 

These payments will be forwarded by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of the Court each time 

the amount in plaintiff’s account exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(b)(2).

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The May 17, 2016 findings and recommendations are hereby vacated; 

2. Plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 8) is granted; and

3. Plaintiff is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. All fees 

shall be collected and paid in accordance with this court’s order to the Director of the California 

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation filed concurrently herewith.
