UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE LEON HOPTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

FRESNO COUNTY HUMAN HEALTH 

SYSTEM, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:20-cv-00141-LJO-SKO

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

SUBMIT PRISONER’S TRUST FUND 

ACCOUNT STATEMENT

ORDER

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se and has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.1 (Docs. 1, 3.) Plaintiff appears to be indigent and qualify to proceed 

in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. However, Plaintiff has not submitted a copy of his 

prisoner’s trust fund account statement showing all account activity for the 6 months immediately 

preceding the filing of the complaint, as required by § 1915(a)(2). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within twenty-one (21) days from the date 

of service of this order, Plaintiff shall submit to the Court a copy of his prisoner’s trust fund 

account statement showing all account activity for the 6 months immediately preceding the 

filing of the complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

 

1 Plaintiff has also filed a request for a court order “compelling” the Fresno County Jail to grant him access to the law 

library. (Doc. 2.) As it is not clear that Plaintiff has been prevented from doing so, the Court denies without prejudice 

Plaintiff's request for an order compelling jail staff to provide him with access to the library. If Plaintiff remains unable 

to access the law library despite his diligence, he may renew his motion. Plaintiff also seeks “funding for needed 

administrative supplies.” (Id.) Neither the Court, nor the in forma pauperis statute, provides for such resources. See

28 U.S.C. § 1915(c). Plaintiff’s request for monies to purchase “administrative supplies” is therefore denied.
