ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(DOCUMENT #2)

Plaintiff Harold Wachter is proceeding in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983. On January 14, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff avers

that he is a civil detainee in the custody of the Department of Mental Health at Coalinga State

Hospital, and is not a convicted prisoner in the custody of the Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation. Accordingly, pursuant to Page v. Torrey, 201 F.3d 1136, 1140 (9th Cir. 1999),

plaintiff is not required to pay the filing fee in full as set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b). 

Good cause having been shown, plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis in

this action is HEREBY GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
