UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES D. WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. MacILVAINE, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-00468 OWW SMS P

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO PAY

FILING FEE OR FILE REGULAR CIVIL

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO REMOVE

“P” DESIGNATION FROM CASE NUMBER

(Doc. 5) 

Plaintiff Charles D. Williams (“plaintiff”) is proceeding pro se in this civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on April 11, 2005. On April 11, 2005,

plaintiff filed a motion seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis by a prisoner and on April 28,

2005, plaintiff filed a motion seeking to have the “P” designation removed from his case number.

Plaintiff has been released from prison. Therefore, if plaintiff wishes to proceed in forma

pauperis, he must file a regular civil application to proceed in forma pauperis. In the alternative,

plaintiff may pay the $250.00 filing fee.

With respect to the “P” designation, although plaintiff has been released from prison, he was

incarcerated when he filed this action. It is the practice of the court to continue handling such cases

as “P” cases. The court deems it unnecessary at this time to deviate from its standard practice.

Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion shall be denied.

to obey a court order; and

4. Plaintiff’s motion to remove the “P” designated from his case number is denied.
