UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LAMAR MCQUEEN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

EDMUND BROWN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-2544 JAM AC P 

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. There are two problems with plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis. 

First, the certificate portion of the request (which must be completed by an authorized officer at 

plaintiff’s place of incarceration) has not been completed. Second, plaintiff has not filed a 

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

preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff will be provided the 

opportunity to submit a new and fully completed request to proceed in forma pauperis together 

with a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six-month period preceding the 

filing of his complaint.
