UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RONNIE STERLING LACY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

FRED FOULK, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-2770 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner 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. Plaintiff has not, however, filed his application for leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis on the form used by this district, and hence has not included a copy of his prison trust 

account statement. Accordingly, plaintiff’s application will be denied without prejudice, and he 

will be provided the opportunity to submit his application on the appropriate form and with the 

appropriate supporting documentation. Plaintiff is cautioned that he must provide a certified copy 

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

his complaint. 

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

 1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, ECF No. 2, is denied without 

prejudice;

Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner; and 

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

application to proceed in forma pauperis, together with a certified copy of his prison trust account 

statement. 

 4. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be 

dismissed without prejudice.
