UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

FRED D. BECK, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JERRY BROWN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-1078 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding through counsel, 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. Plaintiff has not, however, filed his application for leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis on the form used by prisoners in this district. Accordingly, plaintiff’s 

application will be dismissed and plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit the 

application on the appropriate form. Plaintiff is cautioned that he must also provide a certified 

copy of his prison trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the 

filing of his complaint. Additionally, because plaintiff is represented by counsel, counsel is 

directed to file a separate statement that explains his fee agreement with plaintiff and how this 

agreement impacts plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status. 

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

 1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, ECF No. 3, is dismissed without 

prejudice;

application to proceed in forma pauperis; 

 4. In addition, within thirty days from the filing date of this order, plaintiff’s counsel shall 

file a statement that explains his fee agreement with plaintiff and how this agreement impacts 

plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status; and 

 5. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be 

dismissed without prejudice.
