UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RODNEY BANKS,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. PELAYO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00117-BAM (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S SECOND 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS AS MOOT

(ECF No. 8)

Plaintiff Rodney Banks is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this 

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

On January 29, 2020, the Court granted Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma 

pauperis in this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF No. 7.) On February 3, 2020, 

Plaintiff filed a second application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 8.)

Since Plaintiff has already been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this action, 

Plaintiff’s second application is unnecessary. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s second application to 

proceed in forma pauperis, (ECF No. 8), is HEREBY DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 5, 2020 /s/ Barbara A. McAuliffe _
