WILLIAM MORENO,

Plaintiff,

v.

BURNES, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00065-BAM (PC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO PROCEED 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 2)

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO FILE 

COMPLETED APPLICATION TO PROCEED 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING FEE

FORTY-FIVE (45) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff William Moreno (“Plaintiff”) is a county jail inmate proceeding pro se in this

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 14, 2020, Plaintiff filed a complaint, 

together with a motion to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF Nos. 1, 

2.)

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is incomplete. There is no certified 

copy of Plaintiff’s trust account statement for the past six months attached to the application as 

the instructions require, nor is the certificate portion of the form dated, signed, or filled-out by an 

authorized officer of the correctional institution. Plaintiff must submit a completed form, 

including a certified copy of his trust account statement, if he wishes for the application to be 

considered.
