IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN RANDOLPH EPPS, 1:05-CV-1100 REC DLB P

Plaintiff, ORDER TO SUBMIT NEW

APPLICATION TO PROCEED

vs. IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND

CERTIFIED COPY OF TRUST

KATHY MENDOZA-POWERS, ACCOUNT STATEMENT OR

Warden PAY FILING FEE

Defendants. 

 /

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915. However, plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis contained only one

page of the two-page document, and did not include the required original signature by an

authorized officer of the institution of incarceration. Additionally, plaintiff has not filed a

certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately

preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff will be provided the

opportunity to submit a new application to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his

trust account statement, or to pay the $250.00 filing fee.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

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

forma pauperis.

2. Within thirty days of the date of service of this order, plaintiff shall submit a

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his prison trust

account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint, or

in the alternative, to pay the $250.00 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.
