UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DANIEL MAURICE CARTER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SCOTT R. JONES, et al. 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-1960 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff 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 plaintiff’s filings. 

First, plaintiff has not filed 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 a certified copy of his institutional trust account statement. 

Second, plaintiff’s current place of incarceration is not clear. The complaint states that 

plaintiff is detained in the Sacramento County Jail; the in forma pauperis application states that 

plaintiff is incarcerated at Napa State Hospital. The institution where plaintiff is currently 

incarcerated must provide him with a certified copy of his institutional trust account statement. 

Further, the Local Rules of this court require that plaintiff keep the court informed of his current
