N.H.S.,
Defendant.

17

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

18

U.S.C. § 1983. On November 4, 2014, plaintiff was directed to pay the filing fee or submit an

19

application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff has now filed a request for leave to proceed in

20

forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff has not, however, filed a certified copy of

21

his prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the

22

complaint nor has he obtained the institution’s certification provided for on the application form.

23

See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit the completed

24

application with the certified six-month account statement, and/or the certified institutional

25

certification, in support of his application to proceed in forma pauperis.

26

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

27

1. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a certified copy of

28

his prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the
1

1

complaint and/or the certification required on the application form. Plaintiff’s failure to comply

2

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

3

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In

4

Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner.
