O R D E R

Plaintiff Donald Cory Dehar, who is confined in the Arizona State Prison ComplexLewis, Barchey Unit, in Buckeye, Arizona, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. That Court

transferred the case to this District based on venue because Plaintiff’s claim concerned an

assault by an Arizona prison officer at the Lewis Complex. (Doc. 3.) Because Plaintiff had

not filed an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis or paid the $350.00 filing fee, the

Court granted him 30 days to pay the fee or file a complete Application to Proceed In Forma

Pauperis. (Doc. 6.) On December 3, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time to

comply with the last Order and copy of a “Keefe Commissary Network Sales” for purchases

from the Lewis Complex commissary. (Doc. 7, 8.) Plaintiff seeks an extension because

prison officials have refused to provide him with a six-month inmate trust account statement

or to certify his in forma pauperis application. 

The Court will grant Plaintiff an additional 30 days in which to comply with the prior

Order. Plaintiff is reminded that he must file a new complete Application for Leave to

Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Non-Habeas) with an inmate trust account statement. If

Instructions for Prisoners Applying for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 in a Civil Action (Non-habeas) in Federal Court

You must pay the full filing fee of $350.00 for a civil action. If you later file an appeal,

you will be obligated to pay the $455.00 filing fee for the appeal.

If you have enough money to pay the full filing fee, you should send a cashier’s check

or money order payable to the Clerk of the Court with your complaint, petition, or notice of

appeal.

If you do not have enough money to pay the full filing fee, you can file the action

without prepaying the filing fee. However, the court will assess an initial partial filing fee. The

initial partial filing fee will be the greater of 20% of the average monthly deposits or 20% of the

average monthly balance in your prison or jail account for the six months immediately

preceding the filing of the lawsuit. The court will order the agency that has custody of you to

withdraw the initial partial filing fee from your prison or jail account as soon as funds are

available and to forward the money to the court.

After the initial partial filing fee has been paid, you will owe the balance of the filing fee.

Until the filing fee is paid in full, each month you will owe 20% of your preceding month's

income. The agency that holds you in custody will collect that money and forward it to the

court any time the amount in your account exceeds $10.00. The balance of the filing fee may

be collected even if the action is later dismissed, summary judgment is granted against you, or

you fail to prevail at trial.

To file an action without prepaying the filing fee, and to proceed with an action in forma

pauperis, you must complete the attached form and return it to the court with your complaint.

You must have a prison or jail official complete the certificate on the bottom of the form and

attach a certified copy of your prison or jail account statement for the last six months. If you

were incarcerated in a different institution during any part of the past six months, you must

attach a certificate and a certified copy of your account statement from each institution at which

you were confined. If you submit an incomplete form or do not submit a prison or jail account

statement with the form, your request to proceed in forma pauperis will be denied.

Even if some or all of the filing fee has been paid, the court is required to dismiss your

action if: (1) your allegation of poverty is untrue; (2) the action is frivolous or malicious; (3)

your complaint does not state a claim upon which relief can be granted; or (4) your complaint

makes a claim against a defendant for money damages and that defendant is immune from

liability for money damages.

If you file more than three actions or appeals which are dismissed as frivolous or

malicious or for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted, you will be prohibited

from filing any other action in forma pauperis unless you are in imminent danger of serious

physical injury.
