UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHANEY LEAVONE NORVELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. ROBERTS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-1437 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel. He consented to proceed before 

the undersigned for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). On August 19, 2016, plaintiff was 

ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed based on plaintiff’s failure to 

provide a certified trust account statement. On August 22, 2016, and August 25, 2016, plaintiff 

filed documents reiterating his difficulties in obtaining the statement from prison officials, and 

asking that this action proceed. (ECF Nos. 9, 10.) 

On August 1, 2016, the court implemented a new procedure for the provision of prison 

trust account statements directly from the prison which requires prisoners to sign the court’s 

revised application to proceed in forma pauperis. Thus, plaintiff should complete and return the 

enclosed application to proceed in forma pauperis, and the California Department of Corrections 

and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) will provide the necessary certified financial information. In other

now provide the information directly to the court. However, plaintiff is cautioned that his failure 

to sign and return the revised form provided with this order will result in the dismissal of this 

action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The August 19, 2016 order to show cause (ECF No. 8) is discharged;

2. The Clerk of the court shall serve plaintiff with the new application to proceed in 

forma pauperis by a prisoner; and

3. Plaintiff must sign and return the enclosed application to proceed in forma pauperis 

within twenty-one days.
