IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PATRICK MICHAEL KNOST,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-2564 MCE CHS 

vs.

Joseph S. WARSHOLL, II,

Respondent.

ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, has filed a timely notice of

appeal of this court’s order denying his application for writ of habeas corpus.

On April 22, 2010, petitioner filed two motions requesting in forma pauperis

status on appeal. The first, docketed 16, was accompanied by an exhibit obviously intended for

another case. The second, docketed 18, was accompanied by an affidavit which meets the

requirements of 28 U.S.C. §1915(a)(1). Because of his status as a prisoner, however, petitioner

must submit, in addition to the affidavit required by §1915(a)(1), “a certified copy of the trust

fund account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the prisoner for the 6-month period

immediately preceding the filing of the complaint or notice of appeal, obtained from the

appropriate official of each prison at which the prisoner is or was confined.” 28 U.S.C.
