These include the requirements that the prisoner-plaintiff seeking to proceed in forma 24 pauperis 1) submits a certified copy of his prisoner trust fund account statement for the previous 25 six months, 2) pays the full amount of the filing fee, and 3) that a prisoner seeking to file an action 26 regarding prison conditions first exhausts available administrative remedies, see 28 U.S.C. § 27 1915(a)-(b); Page, 201 F.3d at 1139.
