Dale Frank Maisano, Yuma, AZ, pro se.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Alicemarie H. Stotler, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. CV-07-04332-AHS.
Before: CANBY, FERNANDEZ, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Dale Frank Maisano, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's order denying his application to proceed in forma pauperis. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, O'Loughlin v. Doe, 920 F.2d 614, 616 (9th Cir. 1990), and we affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Maisano's application because he failed to submit the required six-month prisoner trust fund account statement. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2); Page v. Torrey, 201 F.3d 1136, 1139 (9th Cir. 2000) ("[P]risoner-plaintiffs seeking to proceed in forma pauperis [must] submit a certified copy of their prisoner trust fund account statement for the previous six months.")
