ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

RECONSIDERATION

(Docket No. 6)

On February 1, 2010, the Court dismissed the instant civil rights action

without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to pay the filing fee. On February 18, 2010,

Plaintiff filed a letter stating that he has proof that he mailed a copy of his prisoner

trust account statement, which was missing from his in forma pauperis application. 

(Docket No. 6.) The Court will construe the letter as a request for reconsideration,

and deny the request. Although Plaintiff states that there is a record in the prison

legal book that he twice sent the statement to the Court, there is no record of the

and 2) the second statement is not stamped as a verified copy from the prison trust

account office. 

The dismissal was without prejudice. If Plaintiff desires to pursue the claims

in the instant complaint, Plaintiff must file the complaint as a new action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
