Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42

17

U.S.C. § 1983 together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. However, plaintiff

18

has not submitted his in forma pauperis request on a proper form.

19

Plaintiff’s request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis will therefore be denied, and he

20

will be granted thirty days to submit a new request on a proper form. Plaintiff is cautioned that

21

the form includes a section that must be completed by a prison official, and the application form

22

must be accompanied by a certified copy of plaintiff’s prison trust account statement for the six-

23

month period immediately preceding the filing of this action.

24

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

25

1. Plaintiff’s October 11, 2013, request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No.

26
27
28

2) is denied without prejudice;
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff an Application to Proceed In Forma
Pauperis By a Prisoner for use in a civil rights action; and
1

1

3. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a properly

2

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided with this order; plaintiff

3

is cautioned that failure to comply with this order or seek an extension of time to do so will result

4

in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
