LUIS VALENZUELA RODRIGUEZ
Plaintiff,
vs.

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFFF’S
APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN
FORMA PAUPERIS

8
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,
9
Defendants.
10
11

Although Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis includes a

12

supporting affidavit, he fails to attach the required “certified copy of the trust fund account

13

statement...for the 6-month period immediately preceding” this filing. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).

14

Although Plaintiff refers the Court to his account statement in another matter, that statement does

15

not reflect the entire 6-month period “immediately preceding” the filing of this separate case. Id.

16

The Court will not grant Plaintiff’s application unless he submits a trust-account statement

17

reflecting assets for the entire 6-month pre-filing period. To proceed with his application,

18

Plaintiff must file such a statement within 45 days of entry of this order. Failure to comply

19

with this order within 45 days of entry will result in the denial of the application.
