UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAXSONY COISSY,

Plaintiff,

v.

DOER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:24-cv-01556-BAM (PC)

ORDER TO SUBMIT PRISONER 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING FEE WITHIN 

THIRTY (30) DAYS

Plaintiff Maxsony Coissy (“Plaintiff”) is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil 

rights action pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 

U.S. 388 (1971) and the Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”), 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b). Plaintiff 

initiated this action on December 18, 2024, together with a motion to proceed in forma pauperis

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF Nos. 1, 2.)

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is incomplete. Plaintiff stated that he 

received money from “Any other sources” over the last twelve months, but failed to describe the 

source of money, state the amount received, or what he expects he will continue to receive, as 

directed by the application. (ECF No. 2.) In addition, while the certificate portion of the 

application was completed by a staff member of Plaintiff’s institution, Plaintiff failed to attach a

certified copy of his trust account statement showing transactions for the past six months.

As the evidence before the Court of Plaintiff’s assets is inconclusive, the Court will 

provide Plaintiff with an opportunity to clarify his financial condition and adequately demonstrate 

financial hardship. Specifically, Plaintiff should explain the “other sources” from which he has 

received money over the last twelve months and describe the source of money, the amount 

received, and what he expects he will continue to receive from the source(s). Plaintiff should also 

submit a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve this order and a blank in forma pauperis

application for a prisoner on Plaintiff;

2. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall file the 

attached application to proceed in forma pauperis, completed and signed, together with a 

certified copy of his inmate trust account statement for the last six months, or in the 

alternative, pay the $405.00 filing fee for this action; 

3. No extension of time will be granted without a showing of good cause; and 

4. Plaintiff is warned that the failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal 

of this action, without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
