IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELBERT LEE VAUGHT, IV,

Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-1558 KJN (PC)

vs.

E. SANDOVAL, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 29, 2010, plaintiff was directed to pay the filing fee or

submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff has now filed a request for leave to

proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff has not, however, filed a

certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six-month period immediately

preceding the filing of the complaint and obtained the certification required on the application

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

completed application and the certified copy in support of his application to proceed in forma

pauperis.
