UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

PETER HONESTO, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JERRY BROWN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-0076 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. However, 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, or the 

equivalent institutional certificate (which would be completed by plaintiff’s institution of 

incarceration). See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) (requiring a “certified copy of the trust fund account 

statement (or institutional equivalent) for the prisoner for the 6-month period immediately 

preceding the filing of the complaint”). Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit a 

completed in forma pauperis Application, together with either a certified copy of the trust account 

statement, or the equivalent institutional certificate, or both if possible. 

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

 1. Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis Application (ECF No. 2) is DENIED without prejudice;
