ORDER
/

The court issued findings and recommendations on June 27, 2011 recommending

17

dismissal of this action due to plaintiff's failure to submit a certified application to proceed in

18

forma pauperis. Following the issuance of those findings and recommendations, plaintiff

19

submitted a second application to proceed in forma pauperis and a declaration stating that the

20

accountant at California State Prison – Corcoran (“CSP-Corcoran”), where plaintiff is presently

21

housed, refuses to certify plaintiff’s prison trust account statement. In response, plaintiff was

22

directed by order dated September 8, 2011 to submit either proof that he submitted an

23

application to proceed in forma pauperis to officials at CSP-Corcoran or submit a certified prison

24

trust account statement. Plaintiff has done neither. Instead, plaintiff has once again submitted an

25

incomplete application to proceed in forma pauperis with a declaration that the accountant at

26

CSP-Corcoran refuses to certify his prison trust account statement.
1

Because plaintiff will be unable to prosecute this action without either payment in

1
2

full of the filing fee or a certified application to proceed in forma pauperis, IT IS HEREBY

ORDERED that:

4

1. Within fourteen days of the date of this order, the current Acting Warden of

5

California State Prison-Corcoran, Connie Gipson, or the warden’s designee, shall both inform

6

the court why prison officials, if they have done so, have refused to provide the requisite

7

certification for plaintiff to submit a completed affidavit in support of his request to proceed in

8

forma pauperis and a certified copy of his prison trust account for the six month period preceding

9

the filing of his complaint and, in any event, must provide the requisite supporting

10

documentation. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve this order on the current Acting
