UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERRY WILLIAMS, 

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

MARTIN T. BITER,

 Defendant.

1:14-cv-02076-AWI-GSA-PC

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2.)

ORDER FOR PLAINTIFF TO PAY $400.00 

FILING FEE IN FULL WITHIN THIRTY 

DAYS

Gerry Williams (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983. Plaintiff filed the Complaint commencing this action on 

December 29, 2014, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (Docs. 1, 2.) 

It appears, from a review of Plaintiff’s application that Plaintiff can afford the costs of 

this action. Plaintiff’s evidence shows that he has cash in the amount of $3,000. (Doc. 2 at 2 

¶4.) Therefore, Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis shall be denied, and 

Plaintiff shall be required to pay the statutory filing fee of $400.00 for this action in full.

Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, filed on December 29, 2014, is 

DENIED;
