UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARK SHANE THOMPSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. ROBINETTE, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1928 TLN KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time to file a completed application to proceed in 

forma pauperis, and asks the court to order prison officials to allow him access to the law library 

to obtain the form. Plaintiff provided a copy of a November 10, 2015 memo advising plaintiff 

that his certified account statement was at the law library, and his December 7, 2015 inmate 

request for interview submitted to his counselor stating that his certified trust account statement 

was sent to the litigation office. (ECF No. 9 at 5, 8.) Plaintiff states that he sent multiple GA0022 forms to the law library, but allegedly received no response. (ECF No. 10 at 1-2.) 

However, plaintiff provided no copies of his requests sent to the law library, and provided no 

dates for his efforts to contact the library. Thus, it is unclear whether the failure to respond was 

due to the certified trust account statement being returned to the trust office because over thirty 

days had elapsed.

Good cause appearing, plaintiff is granted an extension of time in which to comply with 

the September 18, 2015 order. The undersigned will not issue an order directing prison officials 

to provide plaintiff with access to the law library at this time, but will ask the litigation 

coordinator to assist plaintiff in obtaining the certified trust account statement which plaintiff is 

required to file with the court in order to proceed with this action. 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time (ECF No. 10) is granted; 

2. Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of this order in which to file a completed 

application to proceed in forma pauperis;

3. The court requests that the litigation coordinator or other prison official at the 

California State Prison in Corcoran assist plaintiff in obtaining the certified trust account 

statement he has sought since November 8, 2015; 

4. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order on C. Sonksen, “Litigations,” 

and Mary Kimbrell, Litigation Coordinator, or her assistant, at the California State Prison in 

Corcoran; and

5. Plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 9) is denied without 

prejudice to submission of the completed application form.

Dated: January 6, 2016
