UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

BRANDON MICHAEL GARCIA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DELMAR GREENLEAF, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0269 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, has filed a civil rights complaint 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant 

to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. There are three problems with plaintiff’s in forma pauperis application. 

First, plaintiff has not signed and dated the application. Second, the Certificate portion of the 

form – which must be completed by an authorized official at plaintiff’s place of incarceration – 

has not been filled out. Third, plaintiff has not submitted 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 fully 

completed in forma pauperis application and a certified copy of his trust account statement for the 

relevant period.
