UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HERBERT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNNAMED DEFENDANTS,

Defendants.

1:16-cv-00708-DAD-MJS (PC)

SECOND ORDER TO SUBMIT 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING FEE

On July 22, 2016, Plaintiff was ordered to file a completed in forma pauperis 

affidavit. He was cautioned that failure to do so could result in a recommendation that 

his action be dismissed. The time allowed for that filing has now expired without Plaintiff 

having responded to the court’s order or having filed the document as ordered.

The Court is aware that Plaintiff previously filed two motions to proceed in forma 

pauperis in this case. See ECF Nos. 3, 8. He was advised that both were lacking insofar 

as neither included necessary language authorizing the agency having custody of 

Plaintiff to collect funds from his trust account and forward them to the Clerk of the 

United States District Court in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §1915(b)(2). It appears he has 

since submitted the trust account statement. ECF No. 20.

However, this case cannot proceed in this Court (to which it has been 

transferred) without a new motion to proceed in forma pauperis accompanied by

the specified language directing transmittal of trust funds to this Clerk in this

Court.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that within 21 days of the date of this Order Plaintiff 

shall submit a new application to proceed in forma pauperis, completed and signed, or in 

the alternative, pay the $400.00 filing fee for this action. A failure to do so will result in a 

recommendation that the case be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
