Plaintiff,

v.

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00068-DAD-SAB (PC)

ORDER DISREGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

SECOND APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS AS UNNECESSARY

(ECF No. 9)

Plaintiff Lewis Anderson is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On January 14, 2020, Plaintiff initiated this action by filing a complaint and an application 

to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF Nos. 1, 2.) On January 17, 2020, the undersigned issued 

findings and recommendations, recommending that Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma 

pauperis be denied pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), and that Plaintiff be ordered to pay the 

$400.00 filing fee in full in order to proceed with this action. (ECF No. 4.) The findings and 

recommendations were served on Plaintiff and contained notice that any objections thereto were 

to be filed within thirty (30) days after service. (Id. at 4.) On February 3, 2020, Plaintiff filed 

written objections to the findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 8.) As of this date, Plaintiff’s 

application to proceed in forma pauperis, (ECF No. 2), and the undersigned’s January 17, 2020 

findings and recommendations remain pending before the assigned District Judge.

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s second application to proceed in forma pauperis, 

filed on February 3, 2020. (ECF No. 9.) However, as Plaintiff’s first application to proceed in

9), is HEREBY DISREGARDED as unnecessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
