UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Archie Weir initiated an action for a violation of his civil rights by filing a complaint 

and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on November 7, 2014. (Docs. 1-2.) The Court may 

authorize the commencement of an action without prepayment of fees “but a person who submits an 

affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such person . . . possesses [and] that the person is 

unable to pay such fees or give security therefor.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The Court has reviewed the 

application and the information provided is insufficient to determine whether Plaintiff satisfies the 

requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

According to his application, Plaintiff is currently incarcerated at Wasco State Prison. (Doc. 1 

at 2.) However, Plaintiff failed to have an authorized officer report he amount he has available in his 

trust account, or attach a certified copy of Plaintiff’s trust account statement showing transactions for 

the past six months. As a result, the Court is unable to determine whether Plaintiff has funds that may 

be used to pay the filing fee in this action.

ARCHIE WEIR,

 Plaintiff,

MATTHEW ROY, et al.,

Defendants.

statement certified by an authorized officer. Upon receipt of this information, the Court will resume 

consideration of Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff is warned that failure to
