IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAYMOND L. FARRIS et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. CIV 2:10-cv-1216 -GEB-JFM

vs.

CLARENCE WILSON, III, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER AND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

 /

Plaintiff Raymond Farris is proceeding in this action with counsel. Mr. Farris

seeks to proceed in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. § 1915. This proceeding was referred to this

court by Local Rule 302(c)(21).

Mr. Farris has submitted the affidavit required by § 1915(a) showing that he is

unable to prepay fees and costs or give security for them. Accordingly, the request to proceed in

forma pauperis will be granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

The complaint states a cognizable claim for relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A(b). If the allegations of the complaint are proven, plaintiffs have a reasonable

opportunity to prevail on the merits of this action. 

A filing fee of $350.00 is required to commence a civil action in a district court.

28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). The court may authorize the commencement of an action without

prepayment of fees or security therefor by a litigant who submits an affidavit demonstrating

inability to pay. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Where there are multiple plaintiffs in a single action, the
