ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 4)

FORTY-FIVE DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Arthur Carr (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on December 29, 2014. On 

January 5, 2015, the Court ordered Plaintiff to pay the $400.00 filing in full or file an application 

to proceed in forma pauperis. 

On January 26, 2015, Plaintiff filed an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, along 

with a certified copy of his prison trust account statement. Although Plaintiff’s prisoner trust 

account statement shows a current available balance of $0.00, his Application reveals that he is 

able to afford the costs of this action. Specifically, Plaintiff identifies a cash balance of $900.00 

and a settlement amount of $3,000.00 from July 2013. Plaintiff’s payment responsibilities are 

limited to a monthly payment for a paralegal course and assistance to his daughter at Chowchilla 

Women’s Prison. 

Accordingly, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED. See 28 U.S.C. § 

1915. Plaintiff is ORDERED to pay the four-hundred dollar ($400.00) filing fee within fortyCase 1:14-cv-02074-LJO-BAM Document 6 Filed 02/23/15 Page 1 of 2
