APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS AND CERTIFIED

COPY OF TRUST ACCOUNT

STATEMENT OR PAY FILING FEE

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On June 13, 2006, the court ordered plaintiff to submit an application to proceed

in forma pauperis or pay the $350.00 filing fee. On June 23, 2006, in compliance with the order,

plaintiff submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis and a copy of his June 14, 2006

Kern County Jail account statement. However, plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma

pauperis did not include the required original signature by an authorized officer of the institution

of incarceration. Additionally, the copy of plaintiff's trust account statement was not a certified

copy and did not include the entire six month period immediately preceding the filing of the

complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity to submit a new

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk’s Office shall send to plaintiff the form for application to proceed in

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis and an original certified copy of his prison

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

complaint, or in the alternative, pay the $350.00 filing fee for this action. Failure to comply with

this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
