NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERROD HERNDON,

Plaintiff,

v.

NAPA STATE HOSPITAL,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-04948-HSG (PR)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO COMPLETE 

IFP APPLICATION

On October 16, 2015, plaintiff, an inmate at the Sacramento County Jail, filed this pro se

civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the United States District Court for the Eastern 

District of California. The Eastern District thereafter transferred the action to this District. On 

October 28, 2015, the Clerk notified plaintiff that his application to proceed in forma pauperis

(“IFP”) was not complete in that it did not include a certificate of funds completed and signed by a 

prison official or a trust account statement showing transactions and balances for the last six 

months. On November 9, 2015, plaintiff filed another IFP application, but it was still missing the 

required forms. Specifically, in the signature line of the certificate of funds is written “c/o” in 

what appears to be plaintiff’s handwriting. And instead of submitting a trust account statement, 

plaintiff filed a receipt for items he purchased at the Sacramento County Jail.

In the interest of justice, the Court will grant plaintiff an extension of time to file the 

missing certificate of funds and prison trust account statement, no later than thirty (30) days from 

the date this order is filed. In the alternative, plaintiff may pay the full $400.00 filing fee.
