IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WALTER JACKSON, 1:05-CV-00382-AWI-SMS-P

Plaintiff, ORDER VACATING FINDINGS

 AND RECOMMENDATION OF

v. JUNE 29, 2005 

[Document #11]

SCC WARDEN, et al.,

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION 

Defendants. PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

[Document #13] 

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding with a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On June 29, 2005, the undersigned issued a Finding and Recommendation

recommending dismissal of this action due to plaintiff’s failure to comply with the court’s order

of May 17, 2005, which directed plaintiff to submit a new application to proceed in forma

pauperis and a certified copy of his trust account statement, or in the alternative, to pay the

$250.00 filing fee. On July 8, 2005, plaintiff filed an objection, along with a completed

application to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his trust account statement. In his

objection, plaintiff indicated that the delay in submitting the required documents was due to

conditions at the prison not within his control. Due to plaintiff's compliance with the order of

May 17, 2005, and good cause appearing, the Finding and Recommendation shall be vacated. In

addition, because plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by

§ 1915(a), the application to proceed in forma pauperis shall be granted.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1), enacted April 26, 1996, plaintiff is required to

it to the Clerk of the Court. Thereafter, plaintiff will be obligated for monthly payments of twenty

percent of the preceding month’s income credited to plaintiff’s prison trust account. These

payments will be forwarded by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of the Court each time the

amount in plaintiff’s account exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
