This pro se civil action was filed on February 29, 2011, at which time the Court notified
15
Plaintiff in writing that the action was deficient due to the failure to pay the filing fee or furnish a
16
completed and signed court-approved in forma pauperis application. Plaintiff later filed an in forma
17
pauperis application that was not signed and did not have attached to it a "certified copy of the trust
18
account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the 6-month period immediately preceding the
19
filing of the complaint" as required by 28 U.S.C. ยง 1915(a)(2). In an order filed June 15, 2012,
20
Plaintiff was ordered to "file a completed in forma pauperis application that is signed and has the
21
required certified copy of his inmate trust account statement attached to it" within thirty days, and
22
cautioned that failure to do so or to pay the filing fee by the deadline would result in the dismissal of
23
this action.

Plaintiff has not filed the completed in forma pauperis application or paid the filing fee, and

the deadline by which to do so has passed. The in forma pauperis application is DENIED because it

is incomplete. (Docket # 3.) This action is dismissed for failure to file a completed in forma
4
pauperis application or pay the filing fee.
