IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSUE ORTIZ,

Plaintiff, No. 2:13-cv-0617 KJN P

vs.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT

OF CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel or “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 current form used by this district. Plaintiff’s application is

not certified by prison officials, and plaintiff did not provide a trust account statement for the six

months prior to the filing of this action. Accordingly, plaintiff’s application is dismissed and

plaintiff is 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.
