UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAPHAEL GRAHAM,

Plaintiff,

v.

WRIGHT, 

Defendant.

Case No.: 1:22-cv-00504-BAM (PC)

ORDER DENYING IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

APPLICATION WITHOUT PREJUDICE

(ECF No. 2)

ORDER TO SUBMIT PRISONER 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING FEE WITHIN 

THIRTY (30) DAYS

Plaintiff Raphael Graham (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil 

rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on April 28, 2022, (ECF No. 

1), together with a motion to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, (ECF No. 

2).

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is incomplete. Although Plaintiff has 

signed the motion, Plaintiff has failed to submit the first page of the form or a certified copy of 

his trust account statement, and has failed to have the institution complete the certification portion 

of the application. Plaintiff must submit a completed form and a certified copy of his trust 

account statement if he wishes for the application to be considered.
