UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SANTIAGO JAMES CHAVEZ, JR., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SONYA DIXON, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:24-cv-02491 DJC AC 

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). The court is unable to 

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

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

proceed in forma pauperis bearing his signatures. Failure to comply with this order 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
