ORDER

Pending before the Court in this closed case is a pleading entitled “Account:

Verification Per Request” (Doc. 13). The Court will deny the request in the pleading to

proceed in forma pauperis as moot.

I. Procedural Background

On December 11, 2009, Plaintiff Larry L. Moore, who is confined in the Arizona State

Prison Complex-Safford, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(Doc. 1). Plaintiff did not pay the $350.00 civil action filing fee but filed a deficient

Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 3). By Order filed December 22, 2009

(Doc. 4), the Court denied the Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis without prejudice

and gave Plaintiff 30 days to pay the fee or file a new, completed Application to Proceed In

Forma Pauperis and a certified six-month trust account statement from the Central Office

of the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADOC).

On December 31, 2009, Plaintiff filed a second Application to Proceed In Forma

The “Inmate Account Statement” covered the period of time from January 24, 2009,

until August 11, 2009. However, Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. 1) was not filed until

December 11, 2009, almost five months after the date of the “Inmate Account Statement.”

Pauperis (Doc. 5) and an “Inmate Account Statement” (Doc. 6). Although Plaintiff filed the

second Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis on the court-approved form, Plaintiff’s

Application to Proceed was deficient because the “Inmate Account Statement” filed with the

Application to Proceed did not appear to have been generated by the ADOC’s Central Office,

as required. Indeed, it was evident that the “Inmate Account Statement” was generated by

the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Also, the “Inmate Account Statement” did not cover

the six months preceding the filing of the Complaint and had not been signed by an

authorized officer of the ADOC, as required.1

Accordingly, by Order filed April 1, 2010 (Doc. 8), Plaintiff’s second Application to

Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 5) was denied without prejudice and Plaintiff was granted

one last chance to correct the deficiency. Plaintiff was given 30 days from the filing date of

the Order to pay the $350.00 filing fee or file a completed, certified Application to Proceed

In Forma Pauperis and a certified six-month trust account statement from the ADOC’s

Central Office that covered the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the

Complaint.

On April 9, 2010, Plaintiff filed a new Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis

(Doc. 9). Although Plaintiff filed the Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis on the

court-approved form, Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed was deficient because Plaintiff had

yet again failed to file a certified six-month trust account statement from the ADOC’s Central

Office that covered the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the Complaint.

By Order filed June 4, 2010 (Doc. 11), the Court denied Plaintiff’s new Application

to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 9) and dismissed the Complaint (Doc. 1) and this action

without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure

to comply with the Court’s Order filed April 1, 2010 (Doc. 8). Judgment was entered on

June 4, 2010 (Doc. 12).

II. Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis

On June 15, 2010, Plaintiff filed a pleading entitled “Account: Verification Per

Request” (Doc. 13). Attached to the pleading is copy of an “Inmate Letter” and a copy of

a “Certified Statement Of Account.” In his pleading, Plaintiff indicates that he is forwarding

a copy of his “six month verification” to the Court “to proceed in forma pauperis.” Because

this action has been dismissed and judgment has been entered, Plaintiff’s request to proceed

in forma pauperis will be denied as moot. 

IT IS ORDERED:

(1) Plaintiff’s request in his pleading entitled “Account: Verification Per Request”

(Doc. 13) to proceed in forma pauperis is denied as moot.

(2) This case must remain closed.

DATED this 2nd day of August, 2010.
