various constitutional violations. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
We review for an abuse of discretion. James v. Madison St. Jail, 122 F.3d 27 (9th
Cir. 1997). We vacate and remand.
The district court dismissed Riera’s action because Riera failed to comply
with the district court’s orders instructing him to file a completed “Certificate of
Authorized Officer” along with a certified copy of his trust account statement. See
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (requirements for person seeking to bring a civil action
without prepayment of fees). However, in the verified declaration in his notice of
appeal, Riera asserts that the Adelanto Detention Center did not provide him with
the required documents, and that he timely informed the district court of this issue.
Accordingly, we vacate and remand for further proceedings.
VACATED and REMANDED.
