FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CHARLES SAMUEL MILLER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SCOTT KERNAN, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-cv-2534 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. ECF No. 1. Plaintiff has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or 

paid the required filing fee of $350.00 plus the $50.00 administrative fee.1 See 28 U.S.C. §§ 

1914(a), 1915(a). No action can be taken with regards to plaintiff’s complaint until such time as 

he submits the in forma pauperis application or pays the filing fee. See L.R. 121(c). Plaintiff will 

be provided the opportunity either to submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to 

proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the required fees in the amount of $400.00. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in

 If leave to file in forma pauperis is granted, plaintiff will still be required to pay the filing fee 

but will be allowed to pay it in installments. Litigants proceeding in forma pauperis are not 

required to pay the $50.00 administrative fee.
