UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DWIGHT M. DEBOSE,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. WEISS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:20-cv-0108 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983, along with a request to proceed in forma pauperis. However, plaintiff did not sign 

either document. Parties proceeding without counsel are required to sign all pleadings, motions, 

and other papers submitted to the court for filing. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). Thus, the court is unable 

to consider plaintiff’s complaint or request to proceed in forma pauperis unless he signs them and 

re-files them. 

Accordingly, plaintiff is provided an opportunity to re-file his complaint and request to 

proceed in forma pauperis bearing his signatures. Failure to submit a signed complaint and 

signed request to proceed in forma pauperis will result in a recommendation that this action be 

dismissed.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within thirty days from the 

date of this order, plaintiff shall re-file a signed complaint and a signed affidavit in support of his 

request to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a 

recommendation that this action be dismissed.
