Plaintiff Jeffery Frank Snyder (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se in a civil

Welfare and Institutions Code § 6600 et seq. are civil detainees and are not prisoners within

the meaning of the Prison Litigation Reform Act. Page v. Torrey, 201 F.3d 1136, 1140 (9th

Cir. 2000)

In the instant action, Plaintiff filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Examination of these documents reveals that Plaintiff is unable to afford the costs of this

action. Accordingly, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED.
