UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC DANNENBERG,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRANDON PRICE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00128-SAB (PC)

ORDER TO SUBMIT A NON-PRISONER

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS OR PAY $400.00 FILING FEE

THIRTY (30) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Eric Dannenberg is a civil detainee proceeding pro se in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Individuals detained pursuant to a civil commitment are not 

prisoners within the meaning of the Prison Litigation Reform Act. See Page v. Torrey, 201 F.3d 

1136, 1140 (9th Cir. 2000).

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 

filed on January 24, 2020. (ECF No. 2.)

However, Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis has not been submitted on 

the required “Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit AO 240” form. 

Plaintiff must submit a completed and signed application on the blank “Application to Proceed 

Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit AO 240” form included with this order if Plaintiff 

wishes for his application to proceed in forma pauperis to be considered by the Court.
