UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRIAN APPLEGATE,

Plaintiff,

v.

KAMBREA SMITH, et al.,

Defendants.

1:15-cv-00972-SKO (PC)

ORDER TO FILE IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

APPLICATION ON FORM PROVIDED 

WITH ORDER OR PAY FILING FEE IN 

FULL

(Doc. 2)

FORTY-FIVE DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Brian Applegate, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on June 26, 2015. Plaintiff filed an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, but the form he used is intended for habeas petitions and 

does not include this court’s requisite language acknowledging the fee will be deducted in 

increments from his trust account if funds are available. Therefore, Plaintiff shall sign and file 

the application form provided with this order. Plaintiff does not need to have the trust account 

officer complete the certification or submit a trust account statement. The application form he 

filed on June 26, 2015, is sufficient with respect to those requirements.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk’s Office shall send Plaintiff the form for application to proceed in forma 

pauperis used by this court;

sign and file the application to proceed in forma pauperis or, in the alternative, pay the $400.00 

filing fee in full; and

3. Failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
