IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHANNON WHITE,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-10-0577 EFB P

vs.

WARDEN R. HILL, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a prisoner without counsel, has filed a complaint alleging civil rights violations. 

See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He has submitted an affidavit requesting leave to proceed in forma

pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). However, the affidavit is incomplete, as plaintiff

did not respond to the questions asked therein. Furthermore, section 1915(a)(2) requires “a

prisoner seeking to bring a civil action without prepayment of fees or security therefor, in

addition to filing the affidavit filed under paragraph (1), shall submit a certified copy of the trust

fund account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the prisoner for the 6-month period

immediately preceding the filing of the complaint . . . , obtained from the appropriate official of

each prison at which the prisoner is or was confined.” While the “certificate” portion of

plaintiff’s application appears to have been completed by a prison official, plaintiff did not

submit a copy of his trust account statement as required.

Accordingly, plaintiff has 30 days from the date this order is served to submit a

completed affidavit in support of his application to proceed in forma pauperis as well as the

required trust account statement. Failure to comply with this order will result in a

recommendation that this action be dismissed. The Clerk of the court is directed to send to

plaintiff a new form Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis by a Prisoner.

So ordered. 

DATED: March 18, 2010.
