STEVENS, 11 Plaintiff, 12 13 No. CIV S-09-2111 WBS GGH P vs. MATT FUCHS, et al., 14 Defendants. 15 ORDER / 16 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action 17 seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 30, 2009, the undersigned filed findings and 18 recommendations recommending dismissal of this action for plaintiff’s failure to complete an in 19 forma pauperis application, pursuant to an order filed on August 10, 2009, or to pay the 20 appropriate filing fee. In timely objections, plaintiff asks for another opportunity to file an in 21 forma pauperis affidavit due to the insufficiency of the law library (which does not appear to be 22 an apposite reason for a delayed affidavit regarding his inmate trust account) but also because of 23 his recent transfer, which apparently caused a delay in his filing. The court will vacate the 24 findings and recommendations and grant petitioner one final opportunity either to make the 25 requisite showing for in forma pauperis status or to pay the filing fee. 26 \\\\\ 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that: 2 1.
