UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ALBERT J. HAMILTON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

URBAN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0547 AC P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983, together with three separate requests for leave to proceed in forma pauperis 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis applications are each deficient in the 

following ways. First, the Certificate portion of the form – which must be completed by an 

authorized official at plaintiff’s place of incarceration – has not been filled out. 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.

1

 See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff will be 

provided the opportunity to submit a fully completed in forma pauperis application and a certified 

copy of his trust account statement for the relevant period. 

 

1

 In light of the relatively short time since the filing of plaintiff’s complaint and the information 

contained in the previously submitted trust account statements, plaintiff may submit a certified 

copy of his prison trust account statement for the six-month period preceding his submission..
