OF CAUSE SUFFICIENT TO CONTINUE TO
v. ENABLE HIM TO PROCEED WITH IN
FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS
P. PLATA, et al., (ECF Nos. 29, 30) Defendants. 16 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 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. Per a court order issued April 29, 2024 (ECF No. 29), Plaintiff has filed a showing of cause why his in forma pauperis status should not be revoked (ECF No. 30) given that he is a three strikes litigant within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). For the reasons stated below, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s showing is sufficient to permit him to continue to proceed with in forma pauperis status in this action.
