UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY SILVA,

Plaintiff,

v.

WORTH, et al.,

Defendants.

1:16-cv-01131-AWI-SKO (PC) 

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE; WITHDRAWING 

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION TO 

DISMISS; and GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS

(Docs. 10, 11, 12, 13)

Plaintiff, Anthony Silva, is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 2, 2016, an order issued for Plaintiff to submit a 

correct application to proceed in forma pauperis, or to pay the filing fee within 45 days. (Doc. 6.) 

Despite lapse of more than the time allowed, Plaintiff did not comply with or otherwise 

responded to the Court’s order. (Id.) Plaintiff was warned that recommendation for dismissal 

would issue if he failed to obey the order. (Id.) On December 2, 2016, an order issued for 

Plaintiff to show cause within thirty days why the action should not be dismissed for his failure to 

prosecute and comply with the Court’s order. (Doc. 10.) Despite lapse of more than the allowed 

time, Plaintiff failed to file any response. 

On January 12, 2017, Findings and Recommendation issued to dismiss this action without 

prejudice based on Plaintiff’s failure to obey a court order and to pay the filing fee or file the

proper application to proceed in forma pauperis. (Doc. 11.) On January 17, 2017, Plaintiff filed 

the correct application to proceed in forma pauperis and a motion for an extension of time to file 

objections to the Findings and Recommendation. (Docs. 12, 13.)

Plaintiff has made the showing required by § 1915(a) and accordingly, the request to 

proceed in forma pauperis will be granted. Plaintiff is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of 

$350.00 for this action. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Plaintiff is obligated to make monthly payments 

in the amount of twenty percent of the proceeding month's income credited to plaintiff's trust 

account. The California Department of Corrections is required to send to the Clerk of the Court 

payments from Plaintiff's account each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00, until the 

statutory filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

Since Plaintiff filed the correct application to proceed in forma pauperis the order to show 

cause and the Findings and Recommendation to dismiss are no longer necessary.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERD that:

(1) the Order to Show Cause which issued on December 2, 2016, is DISCHARGED;

(2) the Findings and Recommendation for dismissal of this action based on Plaintiff’s 

failure to obey a court order and to prosecute this action, which issued on January 

12, 2017, is WITHDRAWN; 

(3) Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED; 

(4) The Director of the California Department of Corrections or his designee 

shall collect payments from plaintiff's prison trust account in an amount 

equal to twenty percent (20%) of the preceding month's income credited to 

the prisoner's trust account and shall forward those payments to the Clerk of 

the Court each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00, in accordance 

with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2), until a total of $350.00 has been collected and

forwarded to the Clerk of the Court. The payments shall be clearly identified 

by the name and case number assigned to this action;

(4) The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order and a copy of 

Plaintiff's in forma pauperis application on the Director of the California
