UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RENO FUENTES RIOS,

Petitioner,

v.

WARDEN OF CSP-CORCORAN,

Respondent.

Case No. 1:11-cv-00667-EPG-HC

ORDER FOLLOWING REMAND FROM 

THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF 

APPEALS

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER LEAVE 

TO AMEND THE PETITION AND ASSERT 

CLAIMS UNDER 42 U.S.C. § 1983

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO 

SEND PETITIONER APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

Pursuant to the mandate of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the 

case of Reno Fuentes Rios v. Warden of CSP-Corcoran, Case No. 11-16570, the judgment of the 

district court was vacated and this case was remanded with instructions that Petitioner should be 

afforded leave to amend his petition to assert claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF Nos. 18, 19).

The fee for § 1983 civil rights cases is $400 ($350 filing fee plus $50 administrative fee), and 

under the Prisoner Litigation Reform Act, the prisoner is required to pay it by way of deductions 

from income to the prisoner’s trust account, even if granted in forma pauperis status. See 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1).
