IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HUNG DUONG NGUON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-10-1058 DAD P

vs.

T. VIRGA,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, 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. § 1915.1

Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis application does not include a certified copy of

plaintiff’s prison trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the

filing of the complaint in this action or a prison official’s certification. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff’s incomplete application will be denied with leave to file a properly

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.

1

 This case was opened by the Clerk of the Court as a habeas corpus action because

plaintiff filed his complaint on a habeas corpus form. However, because plaintiff is challenging

the conditions of his confinement, the court has construed plaintiff’s allegations as seeking relief

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
