CUSTODY

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se with an action for damages

and other relief concerning alleged civil rights violations. The

matter has been referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rules 72-302 and 72-304.

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis, filed on February 6, 2006, along with

Plaintiff’s complaint.

Plaintiff’s application was incomplete. The “Certificate of

Authorized Officer” was not dated or signed. Further, Plaintiff

did not submit a trust account statement. Plaintiff is required

to submit an original, signed prison trust account statement that

includes the entire six-month period immediately preceding the

filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). In the

Court’s experience, the Fresno County Jail, the site of

Plaintiff’s incarceration, customarily provides a statement of

account to prisoners who are submitting applications to proceed

in forma pauperis.

 Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity either to pay

the $250.00 filing fee or submit a completed application, with a

signed certificate, and an original certified copy of his trust

account statement covering the full six-month period in support

of his request to proceed in forma pauperis.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that

1) Within thirty days of the date of service of this order,

Plaintiff shall either submit a completed application to proceed

in forma pauperis, including a signed certificate and an original

certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the sixmonth period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint,

or, in the alternative, pay the $250.00 filing fee for this

action; Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result

in a recommendation that this action be dismissed; and

2) The Clerk IS DIRECTED to send to Plaintiff with this

order a blank application to proceed in forma pauperis for a

person in custody.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
