ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF AN

EXTENSION OF TIME IN WHICH TO

FILE APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights complaint filed on August 29,

2005. On October 5, 2005, the Court ordered plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma

pauperis or pay the filing fee for this action within 30 days. On December 13, 2005, plaintiff advised

the Court that he is having difficulty obtaining his trust account statement. He also states that the

prison is refusing to mail his legal documents. He asks that the Court contact the Solano State Prison

mail room and direct that he be allowed to mail legal documents to outside attorneys. He also asks

that this case be stayed until he is transferred to another prison. 

Plaintiff is advised that the Court has no authority to contact the prison to issue direction. 

The Court also cannot stay this action indefinitely. However, the Court will grant plaintiff an

extension of time to file his completed application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Accordingly, within 60 days of this Order, plaintiff shall submit a completed application to
