UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HENRY PEREZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

HEATHER DIAZ, et al.,

Defendants.

1:24-cv-00845-EPG (PC)

ORDER VACATING PREVIOUS COURT 

ORDER DENYING, WITHOUT PREJUDICE, 

PLAINTIFF’S APPLICATION TO PROCEED 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS (IFP)

AND 

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

SUPPLEMENT HIS IFP APPLICATION

(ECF No. 2)

THIRTY DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff is confined at Kern County AES Center and is proceeding pro se in this civil 

action. Plaintiff has not paid the $405.00 filing fee but has submitted an application to proceed in 

forma pauperis (IFP) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF No. 2). However, the IFP application is

not fully completed. Specifically, the portion of the IFP form, requiring an officer at the place of 

Plaintiff’s incarceration to certify Plaintiff’s account balance and to provide a certified copy of 

the trust account statement showing transactions for the past six months, has not been completed. 

(Id. at 2). In addition, in the same application, Plaintiff states that he contributes $200 per month 

to support his son, while denying any sources of income or cash savings.

The Court previously denied Plaintiff’s motion to proceed IFP without prejudice. (ECF 

No. 4). The Court now vacates that Order, and orders Plaintiff to supplement his motion instead.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED as follows:

1. Court’s Order (ECF No. 4) denying Plaintiff’s IFP application (ECF No. 2) 

without prejudice is VACATED.

2. The Clerk of Court is directed to send Plaintiff, along with this order, a copy of his 

IFP application filed with this Court. (ECF No. 2). 

3. Within 30 days of the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall submit his IFP 

application, completed and signed in full, and including the trust account 

certification and providing a certified trust account statement showing transactions 

for the past six months. Plaintiff should also explain how he is providing support 

for his son in the amount of $200 per month without any sources of income or 

savings.

4. If Plaintiff believes he cannot provide that information, he should file a notice 

along with his IFP application, explaining the efforts he has made to have the 

appropriate officer at AES provide the required information and the AES response.

5. Alternatively, Plaintiff may pay the $405.00 filing fee for this action.

6. No requests for extension will be granted without a showing of good cause. 

Failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
