For 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERNESTO RAMIREZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

KERN COUNTY SHERIFF’S STAFF,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01673 DLB PC

ORDER REGARDING

PLAINTIFF’S NOTICE

(Document 5)

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

SUBMIT APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS, OR PAY FILING FEE, 

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS

Plaintiff Ernesto Ramirez (“Plaintiff”) is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se in this 

civil rights action. He filed his complaint on November 4, 2015.

Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis. As 

a result, the Court issued an order directing him to do so on November 6, 2015.

On November 16, 2015, the Court received a notice from Plaintiff indicating that he is no 

longer in custody. Plaintiff also requests that he be permitted to proceed with this action without 

paying the filing fee.

Plaintiff’s request is not sufficient to grant in forma pauperis status, as a properly completed 

application is necessary.
