JOSEPH VICTOR LAGANA,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-00455-YGR (PR)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST FOR SERVICE OF 

COMPLAINT; AND GRANTING HIM 

SECOND EXTENSION OF TIME TO 

FILE SIX-MONTH PRISONER TRUST 

ACCOUNT STATEMENT

On January 25, 2019, Plaintiff, who is currently in custody at the San Luis Obispo County 

Jail, filed this pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff also filed a completed in 

forma pauperis (“IFP”) application and his Certificate of Funds. Dkt. 2. However, he did not file 

a copy of his six-month prisoner trust account statement. 

On the same date, the Clerk of the Court sent a notification to Plaintiff informing him that 

his action could not go forward until he either paid the fee or submitted a copy of his prisoner trust 

account statement within twenty-eight days. The Clerk further informed him that his failure to do 

so would result in the dismissal of this action. More than twenty-eight days then passed, and 

Plaintiff failed to file a copy of his prisoner trust account statement. 

On April 2, 2019, the Court granted Plaintiff an extension of time to file a copy of his sixmonth prisoner trust account statement. Dkt. 8. Again, more than twenty-eight days have since 

passed, and Plaintiff has still failed to file the necessary document. Instead, Plaintiff has filed a 

request for the complaint to be served on Defendants by the United States Marshal. Dkt. 9. 

Plaintiff attached to his request another copy of his Certificate of Funds, but he did not attach a

copy of his six-month prisoner trust account statement. Id. at 2. At this time, the Court DENIES 

Plaintiff’s request for service of the complaint without prejudice to renewing his request after he 

files a copy of his prisoner trust account statement. Thus, the Court construes his filing as a 

request for a second extension of time to file a copy of his prisoner trust account statement. 

Having considered Plaintiff’s request, and good cause appearing,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s request for a second extension of time is
