ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S

REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION

BY DISTRICT COURT OF

MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S RULING

WITHOUT PREJUDICE (Doc. 32)

AND DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO

FILE TRUST ACCOUNT STATEMENT

AND RENEWED MOTION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

WITHIN 30 DAYS

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding in pro per, did not

apply to proceed in forma pauperis when this action commenced and

paid the initial filing fee on March 31, 2003. Plaintiff has

filed a Second Amended Complaint. In conjunction with the filing

of the Second Amended Complaint, plaintiff filed a motion to

proceed in forma pauperis, asserting that he is unable to pay the

costs of service. By Order filed on May 12, 2005, the Magistrate

Judge denied plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis as

moot because plaintiff has paid the initial filing fee.

Plaintiff moves to reconsider the Magistrate Judge's ruling. 

In so moving, plaintiff contends that he is no longer able to pay

costs of suit to effect service of process on the defendants. In

his motion for reconsideration, plaintiff asserts that he

submitted the required Trust Account Statement, showing his

inability to afford costs of service. 

The court concludes that plaintiff should be allowed to

proceed in forma pauperis with regard to the costs of service of

process if plaintiff substantiates that he is entitled to so

proceed. However, although plaintiff asserts that he has

submitted the required Trust Account Statement, no such document

has been filed with the court.

Consequently, plaintiff's request for reconsideration is

denied without prejudice. Plaintiff is directed to file a Trust

Account Statement as required by law and applicable rules of

procedure and a renewed motion to proceed in forma pauperis

within 30 days of the filing date of this Order. The Magistrate

Judge shall then determine whether and/or to what extent

plaintiff shall be allowed in forma pauperis status for the

purpose of effecting service of process of the Second Amended

Complaint. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
