IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIK MARTINEZ, No. 2:14-cv-0114-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

BRYAN FLICKER,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court are plaintiff’s requests for additional time and motion

to proceed in forma pauperis.

On May 13, 2014, plaintiff was ordered to submit a complete application for leave

to proceed in forma pauperis, along with the required certified copy of his trust account

statement. Plaintiff indicates he had some difficulty in obtaining the certified copy of his trust

account, but he has obtained the necessary copy and provided it to the court. He has not,

however, completed and signed the necessary application. He was provided a copy of the

application, and was ordered to returned it as well as the trust account statement. Both are

required for the court to approve his in forma pauperis status. As the court has now received the

trust account statement, plaintiff will not be required to produce another copy. He is required to

return a completed application. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a), (a)(2). 

Plaintiff will be provided another opportunity to submit either a completed

application to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee. Plaintiff is warned that

failure to resolve the fee status of this case within the time provided may result in the dismissal

of this action for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules and orders. See Local

Rule 110.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motions for additional time to submit his application for leave

to proceed in forma pauperis (Docs. 10, 11) are granted;

2. Plaintiff shall submit on the form provided by the Clerk of the Court,

within 30 days from the date of this order, a complete application for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, or the appropriate filing fee; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new form Application

to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner.

DATED: October 23, 2014
