Darrin Reid (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the Complaint commencing this action on December 

18, 2019, together with an application to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. 

(ECF Nos. 1, 2.) However, Plaintiff did not entirely complete the application to proceed in forma

the “answer to any of the above is ‘yes,’ [directed] Plaintiff to describe each source of money, 

state the amount received, as well as what you expect you will continue to receive (attach an 

additional sheet if necessary).” (Id.) Plaintiff failed to complete part 3 of the application.

Without knowing Plaintiff’s present financial status the court cannot grant his application 

to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff shall be granted another opportunity to submit a new

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis, providing all of the information requested, 

or pay the $400.00 filing fee for this action, within twenty days. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk shall send Plaintiff an application to proceed in forma pauperis;

2. Within twenty (20) days of the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall either:

(a) Submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis to the court, 

completed and signed; or

(b) Pay the $400.00 filing fee for this action;

3. Plaintiff is not required to submit another certified copy of his prison trust 

account statement;

4. No requests for extension of time will be granted without a showing of good 

cause; and

5. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation 

that this action be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
