IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNETH KNANISHU,

Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-0005 JFM (PC)

vs.

SACRAMENTO SHERIFF’S DEPT., et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff has not, however, filed his application for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis on the form used by this district. Use of the form assists plaintiff to establish and the

court to evaluate plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status in light of 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (b)(1) and (2). 

Accordingly, plaintiff’s application will be dismissed and plaintiff will be provided the

opportunity to submit the application on the appropriate form. Plaintiff is cautioned that he must

also provide a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six month period

immediately preceding the filing of his complaint.
