UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

WILLIAM JOHNSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

J. CHAN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-1536 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 failed to sign and date the application. In addition, the 

certificate portion of the in forma pauperis application has not been filled out and signed by an 

authorized prison official. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Therefore, plaintiff will be provided 

another opportunity to submit a fully completed application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

 Moreover, plaintiff failed to date and sign the civil rights complaint. Plaintiff is required 

to sign and date all pleadings. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send 

plaintiff a copy of page 6 of the complaint. Plaintiff will be provided an opportunity to submit a 

signed and dated page 6 of the complaint to be interlineated into his pleading. Plaintiff is 

cautioned that failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this action.
