UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOHNNY HEARNE, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

J. MA, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-1775-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. To proceed with a civil action a plaintiff must pay the $400 filing fee required by 

28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) or request leave to proceed in forma pauperis and submit the affidavit and 

trust account statement required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). 

Plaintiff has neither paid the fee nor submitted a proper application for leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis. On August 9, 2016, the court granted plaintiff 30 days to submit either the filing 

fee or the application required by § 1915(a). ECF No. 5. Plaintiff subsequently filed an 

application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, but the affidavit is incomplete, and is not 

accompanied by a certified trust account statement. ECF No. 7.

Accordingly, plaintiff has 30 days from the date of service of this order to submit either 

the filing fee or a properly completed application required by § 1915(a). The Clerk of the Court 

is directed to mail to plaintiff a form application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Failure 

to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this action. 

 So ordered.
