ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO FILE

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS A COMPLETED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS APPLICATION WITH

CERTIFICATE AND TRUST ACCOUNT

STATEMENT (DOC. 8)

ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK TO SEND

TO PLAINTIFF A BLANK IN FORMA

PAUPERIS APPLICATION FOR A PERSON

IN CUSTODY

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with an

action for damages and other relief concerning alleged civil

rights violations. The matter has been referred to the Magistrate

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rules 72-302 and

72-304.

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s most recently filed

application to proceed in forma pauperis.

Plaintiff filed a complaint on January 3, 2006. Plaintiff

did not pay the filing fee, and on January 12, 2006, the Court

denied Plaintiff’s initial application to proceed in forma

pauperis because Plaintiff’s application was incomplete. The

“Certificate of Authorized Officer” was not dated or signed.

Further, Plaintiff did not submit a trust account statement. The

Court directed Plaintiff to submit a completed application within

thirty days or pay the $250.00 filing fee. 

Plaintiff’s new application is also incomplete because the

“Certificate of Authorized Officer” was not dated or signed.

Further, Plaintiff did not submit a trust account statement. 

 Plaintiff is required to submit an original, signed prison

trust account statement that includes the entire six-month period

immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity either

to pay the $250.00 filing fee or submit a completed application,

with a signed certificate, and an original certified copy of his

trust account statement covering the full six-month period in

support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis.

However, Plaintiff IS INFORMED that should Plaintiff fail to

file an application or pay the fee in a timely manner, it will be

considered a failure to comply with an order of the Court, and

the Court WILL RECOMMEND that the action be closed and

terminated.

In accordance with the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that

1) The Clerk IS DIRECTED to send to Plaintiff with this

order a copy of a blank in forma pauperis application for a

person in custody; and

2) Within thirty days of the date of service of this order,

Plaintiff shall either submit a completed application to proceed

in forma pauperis, including a signed certificate and an original

certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the sixmonth period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint,

or, in the alternative, pay the $250.00 filing fee for this

action. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order will result

in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
