UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DAVID SAMPSON HUNTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. KROENLEIN, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-0483 CKD P

ORDER

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On March 15, 2016, plaintiff was directed to submit an application to proceed in 

forma pauperis on the form used by this district, along with a certified copy of his prison trust 

account statement. Plaintiff has now filed a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff has not, however, filed a certified copy of his prison trust 

account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint and 

obtained the certification required on the application form. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff 

will be provided the opportunity to submit the completed application and the certified copy in 

support of his application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

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

 1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 13) is dismissed without 

prejudice;

2. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a certified copy of 

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

complaint and the certification required on the application form. Plaintiff’s failure to comply 

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

 3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In 

Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner. 

 4. Plaintiff’s four pending motions for discovery (ECF Nos. 9, 12 , 14 & 15) are denied as 

premature, as no defendant has been served.
