UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALFONSO MOUZON,

Plaintiff,

v.

PAM AHLIN,

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-0526 DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a civil detainee at Coalinga State Hospital proceeding pro se, has filed a civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with an application for leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff has not, however, filed his application for 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis on the form used by this district. Plaintiff correctly asserts in 

his filed application (ECF No. 2) that, as a civil detainee, he is not subject to the Prison Litigation 

Reform Act’s financial reporting requirements. See Page v. Torrey, 201 F.3d 1136 (9th Cir. 

2000). Nevertheless, plaintiff is still required to either pay the appropriate filing fee ($350.00 

plus $50.00 administrative fee) or else be granted leave by the court to proceed in forma pauperis. 

If plaintiff wishes to proceed in forma pauperis, he is required to complete this district’s form 

application so that his ability to pay the required filing fee may be properly evaluated. 

Accordingly, plaintiff’s application will be denied and plaintiff will be provided the opportunity 

to submit his application on the appropriate form.

In accordance with the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s March 9, 2015 request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is 

denied without prejudice;

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In 

Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner; and

3. Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall either pay the required 

filing fee or else submit a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis. If plaintiff 

chooses the latter option, he neither need ensure that the certificate portion of the application is 

completed nor submit a certified copy of his prisoner trust fund account statement for the past six 

months. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this 

action be dismissed without prejudice.
