UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EDWIN KELLY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

R. WILSON, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:17-cv-2557 TLN AC P 

ORDER 

 I. Introduction 

 Plaintiff is a former state prisoner previously incarcerated under the authority of the 

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). Plaintiff proceeds pro se with 

an application to proceed in forma pauperis and a civil rights complaint filed pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 that challenges the conditions of his prior confinement at the California Medical 

Facility (CMF).1

 

 Because plaintiff is no longer in custody, he must complete and submit a non-prisoner 

application to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided herewith. See e.g. Adler v. 

Gonzalez, 2015 WL 4041772, at *1, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 85909 (E.D. Cal. July 1, 2015), 

1

 Plaintiff mischaracterizes this institution as “California Men’s Facility,” which does not exist. 

Review of plaintiff’s attachments demonstrates that the challenged institution was the California 

Medical Facility. If this construction is in error, plaintiff shall so inform the court when he 

returns his non-prisoner application to proceed in forma pauperis.

report and recommendation adopted, 2015 WL 4668668, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 103386 (E.D. 

Cal. Aug. 6, 2015) (payment of fee not required if plaintiff remains indigent after release from 

prison), and cases cited therein. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Within thirty (30) days after the filing date of this order, plaintiff shall complete and 

file the attached application to proceed forma pauperis used by non-prisoners in this district; 

failure to timely submit the completed application will result in the dismissal of this action 

without prejudice. 

2. The Clerk of Court is directed to send plaintiff, together with a copy of this order, a 

blank application to proceed forma pauperis used by non-prisoners in this district. 

DATED: April 20, 2020
