Plaintiff, a Solano County Jail inmate proceeding pro se, has filed two civil rights

actions 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 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). Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit a

certified copy of his prison trust account statement. 

On February 23, 2008, plaintiff filed two complaints with the court which, on the

face of it, make virtually identical allegations against the same defendants. The court will

therefore direct that Case No. CIV S-08-0463 FCD GGH P be closed as duplicative.

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

1. 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. 

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

Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner;

3. The Clerk of the Court shall close case CIV S-08-0463 FCD GGH P; and 

4. The documents from the closed case shall be docketed in CIV S-08-0462 FCD

GGH P.
