ORDER

Plaintiff John Calvin Neuendorf, II, who is confined in the Maricopa County Fourth

Avenue Jail, has filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. #1).

Plaintiff has not paid the $350.00 civil action filing fee or filed an Application to Proceed In

Forma Pauperis. The Court will give Plaintiff 30 days from the filing date of this Order to

pay the fee or file a completed Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and a certified sixmonth trust account statement.

I. Payment of Filing Fee

When bringing an action, a prisoner must either pay the $350.00 filing fee in a lump

sum or, if granted the privilege of proceeding in forma pauperis, pay the fee incrementally

as set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). An application to proceed in forma pauperis requires

an affidavit of indigence and a certified copy of the inmate’s trust account statement for the

six months preceding the filing of the Complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). An inmate must

submit statements from each institution where he was confined during the six-month period.

Id. To assist prisoners in meeting these requirements, the Court requires use of a form

application. LRCiv 3.4(a).

If a prisoner is granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court will assess an

initial partial filing fee of 20% of either the average monthly deposits or the average monthly

balance in Plaintiff’s account, whichever is greater. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). An initial

partial filing fee will only be collected when funds exist. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(4). The

balance of the fee will be collected in monthly payments of 20% of the preceding month’s

income credited to an inmate’s account, each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00.

28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). 

II. Failure to Comply With Statute

Plaintiff has failed to comply with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1915 by either paying

the $350.00 civil action filing fee or filing a complete Application to Proceed In Forma

Pauperis and a certified six-month trust account statement. Accordingly, Plaintiff will be

permitted 30 days to either pay the $350.00 filing fee or file a completed Application to

Proceed In Forma Pauperis and a certified six-month trust account statement.

III. Warnings

A. Address Changes

Plaintiff must file and serve a notice of a change of address in accordance with Rule

83.3(d) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff must not include a motion for other

relief with a notice of change of address. Failure to comply may result in dismissal of this

action.

B. Copies

Plaintiff must submit an additional copy of every filing for use by the Court. See

LRCiv 5.4. Failure to comply may result in the filing being stricken without further notice

to Plaintiff.

C. Possible Dismissal

If Plaintiff fails to timely comply with every provision of this Order, including these
