to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s application for leave to proceed in

forma pauperis (Doc. 2). On August 3, 2006, the court issued an order advising plaintiff of a

number of defects in his application. First, plaintiff has not signed the application. Second,

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). The

document submitted as plaintiff’s trust account statement was not certified by appropriate

authorized officer. Plaintiff was provided the opportunity to submit a completed application to

proceed in forma pauperis, which contains both a signed certification and a certified trust

order may result in the dismissal of this action. See Local Rule 11-110.

and a Motion to Direct the Warden and/or the Parties to Comply with the Court Order to Issue an

Certified Copy Trust Account and Request for a Further Order Directing Parties or Custodian to

Allow Plaintiff Access to Law Library.” This document is construed, in part, as a request for an

therefor, the court will grant an extension of time.

pauperis, including the required affidavits and certifications, or the appropriate filing fee; and

to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner.

DATED: September 11, 2006.
