Plaintiff, a county prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action (EFC No. 1)

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis

19

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (EFC No. 2). However, plaintiff has not filed a certified copy of his

20

inmate trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the

21

complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).

On his request to proceed in forma pauperis, plaintiff has checked the box indicating that

23

he is currently incarcerated in San Joaquin County Jail, but below his signature he wrote that he is

24

no longer incarcerated. EFC No. 2. If plaintiff is not currently incarcerated, he must complete an

25

in forma pauperis application for non-prisoners, which will be sent to him by the Clerk of the

26

Court. If plaintiff is currently incarcerated, he must file a certified copy of his inmate trust

27

account statement. Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit either a completed non-

28

prisoner in forma pauperis application or a certified trust account statement.
