UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT BARBOUR,

Plaintiff,

v.

CLIFF ALLENBY, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:14-cv-1696-MJS (PC)

ORDER (1) GRANTING APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF Nos. 2 & 3); (2) VACATING ORDER 

REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO SUBMIT 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING FEE (ECF 

No. 9)

Plaintiff is a civil detainee proceeding pro se in this civil rights action brought 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action in the Northern District of 

California on October 20, 2014. (ECF No. 1.) The action was transferred to this District 

on October 30, 2014. (ECF No. 7.)

On November 5, 2014, Plaintiff was ordered to submit a proper application to 

proceed in forma pauperis or pay the $400 filing fee in full within thirty days. (ECF No. 9.) 

However, it appears that, prior to transfer of the action to this District, Plaintiff filed an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis on the appropriate form (ECF No. 2), and also 

filed a separate motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 3). These requests have 

not been ruled on.

Examination of these documents reveals that plaintiff is unable to afford the costs 

of this action. Accordingly, the applications to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF Nos. 2 

and 3) are GRANTED. The Court’s November 5, 2014 order requiring Plaintiff to submit 

an additional application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the applicable filing fee is 

VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
