UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

J.P. PARNELL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CHEN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0749 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. There are two problems with the in forma pauperis application. First, the 

Certificate portion of the form – which must be completed by an authorized official at plaintiff’s 

place of incarceration – has not been filled out. Second, plaintiff has not submitted 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 fully completed in forma pauperis application and a certified copy of his trust account 

statement for the relevant period.
