UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

YASIR MEHMOOD, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

FALK, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-0673-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a pretrial detainee proceeding without counsel in a civil action. He has 

submitted an affidavit requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(a)(1). He has not, however, submitted a certified trust account statement. 

 Section 1915(a)(2) requires “a prisoner seeking to bring a civil action without prepayment 

of fees or security therefor, in addition to filing the affidavit filed under paragraph (1), shall 

submit 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 . . . , obtained 

from the appropriate official of each prison at which the prisoner is or was confined.” Plaintiff 

has not submitted a certified copy of his trust account statement or the institutional equivalent. 

He may comply with this requirement by having prison officials complete the “Certificate” 

portion of the form application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
