IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARLTON VAN SCOTT, No. CIV S-08-1020-MCE-CMK-P

Petitioner, 

vs. ORDER

SISTO,

Respondent.

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Pending before the court is petitioner’s application

for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 3). 

Petitioner has not, however, submitted a “certification from the warden or other

appropriate officer of the place of confinement showing the amount of money or securities that

the petitioner has in any account in the institution” as required by Rule 3(a)(2) of the Federal

Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. This requirement may be satisfied by having the

appropriate prison official complete the certificate portion of the form application or by

submitting a certified copy of petitioner’s prison trust account statement. Petitioner will be

provided the opportunity to submit the required certification or the appropriate filing fee.
