ORDER

COOK, et al.,

14

/

15

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant

16

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

17

U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff has not, however, filed his application for leave to proceed in forma

18

pauperis on the form used by this district. Use of the form assists plaintiff to establish and the

19

court to evaluate plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status in light of 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (b)(1) and (2).

20

Accordingly, plaintiff’s application will be dismissed and plaintiff will be provided the

21

opportunity to submit the application on the appropriate form. Plaintiff is cautioned that he must

22

also provide a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six month period

23

immediately preceding the filing of his complaint.

24

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

25

1. Plaintiff’s June 21, 2012, application to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket No.

26

2) is dismissed without prejudice;

3

3. Plaintiff shall submit, within twenty-eight days from the date of this order, a

4

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order

5

will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
