UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TOMMY JAY EUGENE JOSEPH REID,

Plaintiff,

v.

RIVERA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-1937 DB P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a county jail inmate proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF Nos. 1, 2.) However, the application is not dated and the certificate portion 

of the request, which must be completed by plaintiff’s institution of incarceration, has not been 

filled out. (ECF No. 2 at 2.) Additionally, plaintiff has not filed a certified copy of the inmate

trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the 

complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). The court will provide plaintiff the opportunity to submit 

a completed in forma pauperis application and a certified copy of his inmate trust account 

statement in support of the application.
