UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CARL FOUST, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

OMONIYI TEMITOPE ANKINTOLA, et 

al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:23-cv-1208 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis application or paid the 

required filing fee of $350.00 plus the $52.00 administrative fee.1 See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 

1915(a). Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity either to submit the appropriate application in 

support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the required fees totaling $402.00. 

Additionally, review of the complaint shows that it is missing the signature page and has 

not been signed by plaintiff. Parties proceeding without counsel are required to sign all 

pleadings, motions, and other papers submitted to the court for filing. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). The 

court is unable to consider plaintiff’s complaint unless he signs and re-files the complaint. 

1

 If leave to file in forma pauperis is granted, plaintiff will still be required to pay the filing fee 

but will be allowed to pay it in installments. Litigants proceeding in forma pauperis are not 

required to pay the $52.00 administrative fee.

Plaintiff will therefore be provided an opportunity to re-file his complaint bearing his signature. 

Failure to comply with either part of this order will result in a recommendation that this action be 

dismissed. 

 In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the service of this order, an application 

in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court, 

or the required fees in the amount of $402.00; 

2. Within thirty days from the service of this order, plaintiff shall re-file a signed 

complaint; 

3. Failure to comply with either part of this order will result in a recommendation that 

this action be dismissed; and 

4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In 

Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner.
