UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGIA MILES,

Plaintiff,

v.

HOLLISTER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:19-cv-2151 DB P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a county inmate proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

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

required filing fee of $350.00 plus the $50.00 administrative fee.1 See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 

1915(a). By order dated January 31, 2020, plaintiff was ordered to pay the filing fee or submit a 

properly completed in forma pauperis application within thirty days. (ECF No. 10.) Plaintiff was

warned that failure to comply with the court’s order would result in a recommendation that this 

action be dismissed. Those thirty days have passed and plaintiff has not moved to proceed in 

forma pauperis, paid the filing fee, or requested additional time to comply with the court’s order. 

Plaintiff has instead filed a letter detailing her difficulties in gaining access to legal research 

materials and discussing other civil cases she has filed in this district. (ECF No. 11.) 

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 $50.00 administrative fee.

In light of plaintiff's pro se status, the court will give plaintiff one final opportunity to pay 

the filing fee or submit a properly completed in forma pauperis application. Plaintiff is hereby 

informed that the court will not address her other motions and requests until the filing fee is paid 

or a properly completed application has been filed. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, either the $350.00 

filing fee plus the $50.00 administrative fee or a properly completed application to 

proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided with this order; plaintiff is cautioned 

that failure to comply with this order or seek an extension of time to do so will result 

in dismissal of this action without prejudice; and

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff an Application to Proceed In Forma 

Pauperis By a Prisoner for use in a civil rights action.
