Olivas v. Davey
September 11, 2009
PEDRO JOAQUIN OLIVAS, PLAINTIFF,
v.
D. DAVEY, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Although plaintiff has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis, plaintiff's 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.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's September 4, 2009 motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 2) is denied without prejudice;
2. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order a properly completed in forma pauperis application that includes 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 and a prison official's certification; plaintiff is cautioned that failure to comply with this order or seek an extension of time to do so will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice; and
3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner for use in a civil rights action.
