UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Shane Monroe Bowden is appearing pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. 

Plaintiff filed the instant action on December 18, 2019. On December 23, 2019, the Court 

directed Plaintiff to submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the $400.00 filing in 

full within forty-five days. (ECF No. 4.) 

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1915, filed on January 21, 2020. (ECF No. 7.) A certified copy of Plaintiff’s prison trust 

account statement that reflects the activity in Plaintiff’s trust account for the last six months was filed 

on January 28, 2020. (ECF No. 9.)

Since Plaintiff has made the showing required by § 1915, the application to proceed in forma 

pauperis will be granted. Plaintiff is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action.
