UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY SCOTT FOSSUM,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRIAN LAMM, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:24-cv-01489-SAB

ORDER DISREGARDING APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND 

DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO FILE ONLY 

IN HIS OPEN CASE

(ECF No. 6)

Before the Court is Plaintiff Timothy Scott Fossum’s motion to proceed in forma 

pauperis. (ECF No. 6) However, the Court has previously explained that this action has been 

closed as inappropriately opened as a new case because Plaintiff already has an active case, 

Fossum v. Lamm, 24-cv-01374-JLT-SAB. (ECF No. 4.) Accordingly, the Court HEREBY 

ORDERS that:

1. This case has been closed, and therefore, Plaintiff should not file anything else in this 

action or with this case number;

2. Plaintiff’s other case remains open, and should he have any other filings, Plaintiff 

should file in that case with this case number: Fossum v. Lamm, 24-cv-01374-JLTSAB; and
