UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER TAFOYA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF HANFORD, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00010-LJO-SAB

ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 2)

Plaintiff Christopher Tafoya filed a complaint that was docketed on January 3, 2020,

along with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF Nos. 

1, 2.) Plaintiff’s application demonstrates entitlement to proceed without prepayment of fees. 

Notwithstanding this order, the Court does not direct that service be undertaken until the Court 

screens the complaint in due course and issues its screening order.

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 7, 2020
