ORDER
/
16
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel or “pro se,” has filed a civil
17
rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request for leave to proceed in forma
18
pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. However, the certificate portion of the request, which
19
must be completed by plaintiff’s institution of incarceration, has not been filled out. Nor has
20
plaintiff filed a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six-month period
21
preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Therefore, plaintiff will be
22
provided the opportunity to submit a completed in forma pauperis application with the required
23
certifications.1

In an unsigned declaration, dated March 20, 2013, attached to his request to proceed in
forma pauperis, plaintiff states that he requested the necessary documentation 14 days before.
(See Dkt. No. 2 at 3-4.) However, the court finds that this not an unreasonable period of time,
and will therefore require that plaintiff adhere to the statutory certification requirements. In

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

provided by the Clerk of Court; and a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the

six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint.

addition, the court has reviewed plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief (Dkt. No. 3), and finds
that it does not present any matter so urgent as to require deviation from the routine certification
requirements for initiating a prisoner civil rights action.
