MICHAEL DEWAYNE ALLEN,

No. 2:17-cv-1943 KJM AC P

Plaintiff,

13

v.

ELHERS,

15

ORDER

Defendant.

16
By order filed September 22, 2017, plaintiff was directed to submit an application to

17
18

proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee. ECF No. 3. In response to that order, plaintiff

19

requests that he be allowed to submit the application without a certified copy of his prison trust

20

account statement. ECF No. 6
Inmates like plaintiff who are in the custody of the California Department of Corrections

21
22

and Rehabilitation (CDCR) are no longer required to provide the court with a certified copy of

23

their prison trust account statements. The application form used by this court includes an

24

authorization that allows the court to obtain the certified statement directly from the CDCR. In

25

other words, as long as plaintiff returns a signed application, the court will take care of getting a

26

copy of plaintiff’s trust account statement and he does not need to include one with the

27

application.
