UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CHARLES E. WALKER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

T.TISSERAND, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:15-cv-2524 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. Upon review of plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, it was 

discovered that he had not filed a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six 

month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint and he was ordered to submit the 

required statement. ECF No. 5. In response to that order, plaintiff has filed a trust account 

statement and a declaration in which he states that it is “a true statement of his trust account, as 

was provided to him by the trust office at Mule Creek State Prison.” ECF No. 6. However, the 

trust account statement must be certified by a prison official, not by plaintiff. 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(a)(2). Plaintiff shall be given another opportunity to provide a certified copy of his prison 

trust account statement that is certified by an appropriate prison official.

within thirty days from the date of this order, a certified copy of his prison trust account statement

result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
