HON LAU,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-3146 DAD P

vs.

BILL LOCKYER,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 6, 2010, plaintiff was directed to pay the filing fee or submit a

properly completed in forma pauperis application form. In response to the court’s order, plaintiff

has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis application does not include a certified copy of

plaintiff’s prison trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the

filing of the complaint in this action AND/OR a prison official’s certification. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff’s incomplete application will be denied with leave to file a properly

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.
