ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO SUBMIT A COMPLETE IN FORMA PAUPERIS APPLICATION AND INMATE TRUST ACCOUNT STATEMENT
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 together with a request 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 completed. Also, plaintiff has not filed a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement for the six-month period 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 copy 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. 2, is denied without prejudice.
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner.
3. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a completed affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court.
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. Plaintiffs failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
