UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALLAN FLETCHER,

Plaintiff,

v.

CLENDENIN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:22-cv-00249-BAM (PC)

ORDER TO SUBMIT A NON-PRISONER

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS OR PAY THE $402.00 FILING 

FEE

FORTY-FIVE (45) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Dexter Lawrence Griffin (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee appearing pro se in this 

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Individuals detained pursuant to California 

Welfare and Institutions Code § 6600 et seq. are civil detainees and are not prisoners within the 

meaning of the Prison Litigation Reform Act. Page v. Torrey, 201 F.3d 1136, 1140 (9th Cir. 

2000).

Plaintiff has neither paid the $402.00 filing fee nor submitted an application to proceed in 

forma pauperis on the appropriate form pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. While Plaintiff did submit 

a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis with his complaint, the application is the one 

used by a prisoner. (ECF No. 2.)

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk’s Office shall send to Plaintiff the attached application to proceed in forma 

pauperis for a non-prisoner;

2. Within forty-five (45) days of the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall submit the 

completed and signed application to proceed in forma pauperis for a non-prisoner, or in the 

alternative, pay the $402.00 filing fee for this action; and

3. Failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
