UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

THOMAS GARLAND, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-1856 AC P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff, a Sacramento County Jail inmate proceeding pro se, has 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. 

There are two problems with the in forma pauperis application. First, the “Certificate” 

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

been completed. Second, plaintiff has not submitted a certified copy of his institutional trust 

account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit a newly 

completed in forma pauperis application that includes both matters. 

 In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Plaintiff shall, within thirty days from the filing date of this order, submit a newly 

completed in forma pauperis application that includes: (a) completion of the “Certificate” portion 

of the application; and (b) submission of a certified copy of plaintiff’s institutional trust account
