UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DANNY CHARLES BARNES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DANNY CHARLES BARNES, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0948-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. To proceed with a civil action a plaintiff must pay the $400 filing fee required by 

28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) or request leave to proceed in forma pauperis and submit the affidavit 

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Plaintiff has neither paid the fee nor submitted a proper 

application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, as the affidavit plaintiff submitted was 

improperly completed and not accompanied by 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.”
