ORDER GRANTING

PLAINTIFF A FINAL

EXTENSION OF TIME TO

COMPLETE APPLICATION

TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS 

On September 29, 2005, Plaintiff filed the instant civil rights complaint pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983 while he was a detainee at the Lake County Jail. On that same day, the

Court sent a notification to Plaintiff that his in forma pauperis application was incomplete

because he failed to submit a certificate of funds signed by an authorized officer at the jail

and a trust account statement showing transactions for the prior six months. The Court

provided a copy of the correct form for application to proceed in forma pauperis, along

with a return envelope, instructions, and a notification that the case would be dismissed if

Plaintiff failed to pay the fee or file the supporting documentation within thirty days. 

On October 17, 2005, Plaintiff filed an incomplete in forma pauperis application

because he did not include a certificate of funds signed by an authorized official at the

jail. Plaintiff notified the Court that as of April 24, 2006, he was no longer in custody. 

On October 6, 2006, the Court denied Plaintiff’s incomplete in forma pauperis

applications and directed Plaintiff to submit the non-prisoner in forma pauperis

application within thirty days. In the alternative, the Court noted that Plaintiff may pay

the $250.00 filing fee. The Court warned Plaintiff that failure to submit the in forma

pauperis application or pay the filing fee within thirty days would result in the dismissal

of this action without prejudice. 

On January 26, 2007, Plaintiff filed a response to the Court’s order stating that the

jail staff would not complete his certificate of funds document. The Court notes that

Plaintiff has not submitted a completed in forma pauperis application as of the date of this

order. Accordingly, the Court will grant Plaintiff a final extension of time to submit his

application to proceed in forma pauperis. It is unclear whether Plaintiff is currently in

custody, therefore the Court will provide Plaintiff with a non-prisoner in forma pauperis

application and a prisoner in forma pauperis application. The Court requests that jail

officials provide Plaintiff with a certificate of funds to verify his prisoner trust account

statement and complete his in forma pauperis application. 

Within thirty days of the date of this order, Plaintiff shall submit the appropriate

in forma pauperis application. Failure to submit the in forma pauperis application or pay

the filing fee within thirty days will result in the dismissal of this action without prejudice

for failure to pay the filing fee or submit a completed in forma pauperis application. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
