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

18

U.S.C. § 1983. In an order filed February 7, 2020, plaintiff was informed that if he wishes to

19

continue with this action he must file a request to proceed in forma pauperis and an amended

20

complaint within thirty days. On March 12, plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis.

21

However, the certificate portion of the request which must be completed by plaintiff’s institution

22

of incarceration has not been filled out. Also, plaintiff has not filed a certified copy of his inmate

23

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

24

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

25

completed in forma pauperis application and a certified copy in support of his application.

26

Plaintiff has also not complied with the February 7 order by filing an amended complaint.

27

Plaintiff will be given one more opportunity to do so. If plaintiff fails to file an amended

28

complaint within the time provided, this court will recommend that this case be dismissed.
