UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TERRANCE BUTLER,

Plaintiff,

v.

CLIFF ALLENBY, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:14-cv-02021-SKO (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO 

SEND NON-PRISONER IFP APPLICATION 

AND REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE

COMPLETED IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

APPLICATION OR PAY FILING FEE 

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS

(Doc. 2)

Plaintiff Terrance Butler, a civil detainee proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on November 19, 2014. Plaintiff seeks leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), but he failed to fill out the application he filed with the 

Court. (Doc. 2.) 

While Plaintiff is not subject to the Prison Litigation Reform Act, as he argues, Page v. 

Torrey, 201 F.3d 1136, 1140 (9th Cir. 2000), he must nevertheless file an in forma pauperis 

application setting forth sufficient information to allow the Court to determine whether he is 

entitled to proceed without paying the filing fee, Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1051 (9th 

Cir. 2007); Lister v. Dep’t of the Treasury, 408 F.3d 1309, 1312 n. (10th Cir. 2005). Accordingly, 

the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:

1. The Clerk’s Office shall send Plaintiff a non-prisoner in forma pauperis 

application;

2. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall file a 

completed in forma pauperis application or pay the $400.00 filing fee in full; and

3. The failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal of this action, without 

prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
