UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARMANDO HERRERA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CANDIA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-0938 GEB KJN P

ORDER

By an order filed May 25, 2016, plaintiff was granted ninety days in which to submit an 

application to proceed in forma pauperis or the required filing fees of $400.00, or, in the 

alternative, to request voluntary dismissal of this action. (ECF No. 6 at 4.) On June 16, 2016, 

plaintiff filed a response to the order, stating that he sent the in forma pauperis form to the inmate 

trust account office, but had not yet heard from them. (ECF No. 11.) On July 19, 2016, plaintiff 

filed a declaration and provided copies of his requests for the certified financial information, 

which he claims he still has not received.

On August 1, 2016, the court implemented a new procedure for the provision of prison 

trust account statements directly from the prison which requires prisoners to sign the court’s 

revised application to proceed in forma pauperis. Thus, plaintiff should complete and return the 

enclosed application to proceed in forma pauperis, and the California Department of Corrections 

and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) will provide the necessary certified financial information. In other

words, plaintiff does not have to obtain the certified financial information because the CDCR will 

now provide the information directly to the court. However, plaintiff is cautioned that his failure 

to comply with the May 25, 2016 order will result in a recommendation that this action be 

dismissed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the court shall serve plaintiff with the new application to proceed in 

forma pauperis by a prisoner; and

2. Plaintiff must respond to the court’s May 25, 2016 order on or before August 25, 

2016; if plaintiff chooses to submit a request to proceed in forma pauperis, he must sign and 

return the revised form.
