UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEITH CANDLER,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. FREDERICK, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1897 KJN 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. However, plaintiff’s request is not on the form used by this district, and does not 

contain the certificate portion which must be completed by plaintiff’s institution of incarceration. 

Also, 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). Therefore, 

plaintiff is provided the opportunity to submit a completed in forma pauperis application and a 

certified copy in support of his application.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a completed 

affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk 

of Court;

3. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a certified copy of 

his prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the 

complaint. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this 

action be dismissed without prejudice.
