Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

statement attached to the application is not a certified copy. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The

defective application will be denied, and plaintiff will be granted thirty days to submit a properly

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.

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

1. Plaintiff’s July 3, 2006 application to proceed in forma pauperis is denied

without prejudice;
