 Plaintiff filed three civil rights actions on August 11, 2005. Plaintiff submitted a single

forma pauperis application captioned for filing in the action against defendants Demers,

Stephens, Alcorn, and Van Lear. That case has been assigned case number 2:05-cv-01595-DFLGGH. Plaintiff is informed that he must submit a separate in forma pauperis application for each

case he files. If plaintiff is granted in forma pauperis status in this case, the $250.00 filing fee

will be assessed and prison officials will be ordered to deduct money from plaintiff’s inmate trust

account and forward installment payments to the court until the $250.00 filing fee is paid in full. 

If plaintiff proceeds in forma pauperis in three cases, he will be required to pay the $250.00 filing

fee for each case, for a total of $750.00.
