JEREMY D. PETERSON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

Plaintiff, a county inmate proceeding without counsel, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has also filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. However, the certificate portion of the request, which must be completed by plaintiff's institution of incarceration, has not been filled out. Plaintiff also has not filed a certified copy of his inmate 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 completed in forma pauperis application and a certified trust account statement in support of his application.

In accordance with the above, it is hereby ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, ECF No. 5, is denied without prejudice.

4. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint.
