IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DON ANGELO DAVIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

HUTCHESON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:20-CV-0077-DMC-P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not filed a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis, 

along with a certified copy of his trust account statement for the six-month period immediately 

preceding the filing of the complaint, nor has plaintiff paid the required filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. 

§§ 1914(a), 1915(a), (a)(2). In response to the court’s first order directing plaintiff to resolve the 

fee status for this case, plaintiff filed a certified copy of his prison trust account statement, see

ECF No. 7, but to date plaintiff has failed to file an application for leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis. 

Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit either a completed application 

to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee. Plaintiff is warned that failure to 

resolve the fee status of this case within the time provided may result in the dismissal of this 

action for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules and orders. See Local Rule
