UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff appears to be a civil detainee. Individuals detained pursuant to California 

Welfare and Institutions Code ' 6600 et seq. are civil detainees and are not prisoners within the 

meaning of the Prison Litigation Reform Act. Page v. Torrey, 201 F.3d 1136, 1140 (9th Cir. 

2000). Plaintiff is proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ' 1983. 

Plaintiff has not paid the $400.00 filing fee, or submitted an application to proceed in 

forma pauperis on the appropriate form pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915.1 Accordingly, IT IS 

HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk=s Office shall send to Plaintiff the attached application to proceed in 

forma pauperis for a non-prisoner;

2

2. Within thirty days of the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall submit the 

completed and signed application to proceed in forma pauperis for a non-prisoner, or in the 

alternative, pay the $400.00 filing fee for this action. 

\\\

 

1

Plaintiff submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis, but he submitted the application for prisoners, and 

he only submitted the first page.

2 While it appears that Plaintiff is a civil detainee and not a prisoner, if Plaintiff is a prisoner, he should fill out an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis by a prisoner.
