UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOE AMASON,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. CULVERSON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1765 KJN 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. However, the certificate portion of the request which must be completed by 

plaintiff’s institution of incarceration has not been filled out. Also, plaintiff has not filed a 

certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately 

preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Therefore, plaintiff will be 

provided the opportunity to submit a completed in forma pauperis application and a certified copy 

in support of his application.

In his application, plaintiff asks the court to refer to his in forma pauperis application that 

he filed and which was granted in another action in this court, Amason v. Wedell, 2: 12-cv-0388 

KJN P. Plaintiff suggests that that he should not be required to file another fully completed in 

forma pauperis application in the instant action based on the in forma pauperis application filed

and granted in his other action. Plaintiff is informed that he is required to file a properly

of Court; 

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In 

Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner; and

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

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

complaint. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this 

action be dismissed without prejudice.
