UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON SCHEIDING,

Plaintiff,

v.

DAVID SMITH, et al.,

Defendants.

1:16-cv-00164-BAM (PC)

ORDER TO SUBMIT A 

PRISONER APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

OR PAY THE $400.00 FILING FEE 

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS 

ORDER TO CLERK’S OFFICE TO SEND 

PLAINTIFF IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

APPLICATION FOR PRISONER

THIRTY-DAY (30-DAY) DEADLINE

Plaintiff Jason Scheiding (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ' 1983. Plaintiff filed this action in the District Court for the 

Northern District of California on January 27, 2016. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff also filed an in forma 

pauperis application with that court. (ECF No. 2.)

On February 3, 2016, a judge of the Northern District of California determined that venue 

would be proper in the Eastern District of California, and transferred the case. (ECF No. 5.) No 

determination had yet been made on Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis application. However, the form 

submitted by Plaintiff in the Northern District of California is not the correct form for 

consideration in this district. The Court requires a proper prisoner application to proceed in forma 

pauperis on this Court’s form to consider Plaintiff’s application pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
