No. CV 05-3329-PCT-NVW (DKD)

ORDER

This is a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 filed by an inmate confined

in the Coconino County Detention Facility in Flagstaff, Arizona. The Court will dismiss the

action with leave to amend.

A. Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis & Filing Fee.

Plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(b)(1), Plaintiff is required to pay the statutory filing fee of $250.00 for this action.

No initial partial filing fee will be assessed by this Order. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). By

separate order, the Court will direct the appropriate agency to collect monthly payments of

20 percent of the preceding month’s income credited to Plaintiff’s trust account. These

payments will be forwarded by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of Court each time the

amount in Plaintiff’s account exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(b)(2).

Plaintiff should take notice that if he is released before the filing fee is paid in full, he

must pay the remaining unpaid amount of the filing fee within 120 days of the date of his

release. If Plaintiff fails to pay the remainder of the filing fee within 120 days of the date of

his release, the action will be dismissed, unless Plaintiff shows good cause, in writing, why

he is unable to pay the remainder of the filing fee.

B. Application Fails to Comply With Statute

Plaintiff has submitted an affidavit of indigence and a consent to collection of fees.

He has not, however, filed a copy of his certified trust account statement for the six-month

period immediately preceding the filing of his Complaint. In light of the deficiency, Plaintiff

will be permitted 30 days to file a properly certified six-month trust account statement.

C. Warning of Possible Dismissal Pursuant to Rule 41

Plaintiff should take notice that if he fails to timely comply with every provision of

this Order, or any order entered in this matter, this action will be dismissed pursuant to Rule

41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260-

61 (9th Cir.) (district court may dismiss action for failure to comply with any order of the

Court), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 915 (1992).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: 

(1) That Plaintiff shall have 30 days from the date this Order is filed in which to

either pay the $250.00 filing fee or properly apply to proceed in forma pauperis by filing a

certified trust account statement as described in this Order;

(2) That the Clerk of Court is directed to enter dismissal of this action without

prejudice and without further notice to Plaintiff if Plaintiff fails to file a certified trust

account statement within 30 days; 

(3) That at all times during the pendency of this action, Plaintiff shall immediately

advise the Court and the Defendants of any change of address and its effective date. Such

notice shall be captioned “NOTICE OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS.” The notice shall contain

only information pertaining to the change of address and its effective date. The notice shall

not include any motions for any other relief. Failure to file a Notice of Change of Address

may result in the dismissal of the action for failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure;

(4) That a clear, legible copy of every pleading or other document filed shall
