18

Petitioner, a prisoner at Chuckwalla Valley State Prison in Blythe, California, has filed a

19

pro se civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C.§ 1983. (Doc. No. 1.) Plaintiff has also filed

20

an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (Doc. No. 3.) On July 18, 2012, the Clerk of the

21

Court notified the Plaintiff that his application was deficient because it failed to contain a

22

certificate of funds signed by an authorized prison official. (Doc. No. 4.) Before the Court is

23

Plaintiff’s letter indicating that he has requested that prison officials complete the necessary

24

documents to complete his application; however, his request has not been fulfilled. (Doc. No. 6.)

25

Based on Plaintiff’s letter, the Court on its own motion GRANTS Plaintiff an extension

26

of time to file a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff shall file a

27

certificate of funds signed by an authorized prison official no later than thirty (30) days after

28

the filing date of this order.
