UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

----oo0oo----

FORREST KENDRID,

Plaintiff,

v.

E. OGUNTUASE,

Defendant.

No. 2:21-cv-01558 WBS JDP 

ORDER

----oo0oo----

Plaintiff, a civil detainee proceeding pro se, has 

filed this civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 

1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate 

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

Defendant has moved to revoke plaintiff’s in forma 

pauperis (“IFP”) status. (Docket No. 15.) On August 25, 2022, 

the Magistrate Judge filed findings and recommendations herein 

which were served on all parties and which contained notice to 

all parties that any objections to the findings and 

recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. (Docket

No. 23.) Specifically, the Magistrate Judge recommended denial 

of defendant’s motion to revoke IFP status. The court 

acknowledges that defendant did not move for reconsideration of 

the Magistrate Judge’s order granting IFP status but has instead 

moved for revocation of that status. Neither party has filed 

objections to the findings and recommendations.

The court notes that the Magistrate Judge’s order 

granting IFP status (Docket No. 8) did not set forth any 

reasoning for granting that status notwithstanding the fact that 

plaintiff had $2,415.71 in his prison trust account as of 

September 10, 2021 (see Docket No. 5).1 Accordingly, this case 

is hereby REMANDED to the Magistrate Judge for further 

proceedings on whether plaintiff qualifies for IFP status in 

light of the funds in plaintiff’s prison trust account and any 

other assets he has available.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 27, 2022

1 Notably, plaintiff also stated in his IFP application 

that he had $2,000.
