[Document #10]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a habeas corpus action pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 2254. On March 21, 2006, the court ordered petitioner to submit a new application to proceed in

forma pauperis and a certified copy of his prison trust account statement. On March 29, 2006, petitioner

submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis. However, petitioner did not submit a certified

copy of his prison trust account statement.

On April 10, 2006, and April 19, 2006, petitioner filed motions to extend time to submit a new

application to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his prison trust account statement, or

in the alternative, to pay the $5.00 filing fee. Petitioner also filed a request for the court to issue an order

for prison officials to provide a certified copy of his trust account statement to the court.

Petitioner is hereby informed that it is his responsibility to follow procedures established at the

prison to insure that the court receives a certified copy of his trust account statement. Petitioner should

show a copy of this order to his prison counselor or another official in the accounts department. The

court declines to issue an order directing prison officials to act at this time. However, petitioner shall

be granted an extension of time in which to submit a new application and certified copy of his trust

account statement to the court. To the extent Petitioner claims prison officials are refusing to comply

with his requests, Petitioner has failed to make any kind ofshowing. Petitioner fails to state what he has

done to comply with the Court’s order, how prison officials have acted to frustrate his attempts, or the

dates, times, and places of the alleged occurrences. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Petitioner’s request for a court order directing prison officials to provide a copy of

petitioner’s trust account statement is denied;

2. The Clerk of the Court shall send to petitioner a form for application to proceed in forma

pauperis by a prisoner; and 

3. Petitioner is granted thirty days from the date of service of this order in which to submit

a new application to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his prison trust

account statement which includes the six month period immediately preceding the filing

of the petition, or in the alternative, to pay the $5.00 filing fee, pursuant to the court's

order of March 21, 2006.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
