UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LARRY KIRKWOOD,

Plaintiff,

v.

K. RAMIREZ,

Defendants.

1:23-cv-00314-SKO (PC) 

 ORDER TO SUBMIT SIGNED APPLICATION

 TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS OR 

 PAY FILING FEE WITHIN THIRTY (30) 

 DAYS

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

U.S.C. § 1983, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915. However, Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis was deficient in that it did 

not include Plaintiff's required original signature. Each document submitted for filing must 

include the original signature of the filing party or parties. Local Rule 131; Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within thirty (30) days of the date of 

service of this order, Plaintiff shall re-submit the enclosed application to proceed in forma 

pauperis, with Plaintiff's original signature, or in the alternative, pay the $402.00 filing fee for 

this action.
