SECOND ORDER TO SUBMIT NEW

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS AND CERTIFIED

COPY OF TRUST ACCOUNT

STATEMENT OR PAY FILING FEE

(Doc. 7)

ORDER STRIKING MOTION FOR

APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL FOR

LACK OF SIGNATURE (Doc. 8)

On March 16, 2007, plaintiff was ordered by the court to submit a completed application to

proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 and a certified copy of his prison trust

account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint, or in

the alternative, pay the balance of $200.00 filing fee for this action. On April 2, 2007, plaintiff

submitted deficient documents. The application to proceed in forma pauperis did not include the

required original signature by an authorized officer of the institution of incarceration, nor did it

include a certified copy of plaintiff’s prison trust account statement for the entire six month period

immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff will be

provided another opportunity to comply with the court’s order and submit the required document(s)

or pay the $200.00 balance of the filing fee. 

On April 20, 2007, plaintiff filed a motion seeking the appointment of counsel. However,

plaintiff’s one page motion does not bear his signature. Each document submitted for filing must

include the original signature of the filing party or parties. Local Rule 7-131; Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a).

All documents submitted without the required signature(s) will be stricken. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk’s Office shall send to plaintiff the form for application to proceed in forma

pauperis.

2. Within thirty (30) days of the date of service of this order, plaintiff shall submit a

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

trust account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of

the complaint, or in the alternative, pay the $200.00 balance of the filing fee for this

action. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this

action be dismissed.

3. Plaintiff’s motion for the appointment of counsel, filed April 20, 2007, is

STRICKEN for lack of signature.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
