v. : MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

CHARLES ELLIS, :

:

Defendant. : CLOSED

IT APPEARING THAT:

1. On February 18, 2011 Plaintiff Aole Blackman-Wright,

previously confined at Passaic County Jail, filed this civil

action in forma pauperis, without prepayment of fees or

security, asserting claims pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

2. The matter was administratively terminated on March 3, 2011

because, while Plaintiff did submit an in forma pauperis

application as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), he failed

to comply with the requirement to include a certified copy

of his inmate trust fund account statement(s) for the sixmonth period immediately preceding the filing of his

complaint as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). While

Plaintiff did provide a statement, the statement provided

only reflected a time period of August 31, 2010 to January

3, 2011 and thus was not for a full six month time period as

required by the statute.

3. On March 17, 2011 the Clerk of the Court received

correspondence from Plaintiff indicating that he had been

Case 3:11-cv-00911-JAP-TJB Document 7 Filed 08/22/11 Page 1 of 3 PageID: 42
released from incarceration.

4. On March 21, 2011 the Clerk of the Court received

correspondence from Plaintiff stating that due to a computer

failure at the facility, account information could not be

obtained prior to August 31, 2010. 

5. To the extent that Plaintiff asserts failure of the facility

computer system, he has not provided any evidence to support

that assertion in the form of certification from a prison

official to confirm the problems with the facility record

keeping system or any other such information that would aid

the Court in the assessment of Plaintiff’s application given

that the six-month statement was not provided. 

IT IS THEREFORE on this 22nd day of August, 2011, 

ORDERED that the Clerk shall reopen this matter by making a

new and separate entry on the docket reading “CIVIL CASE

REOPENED”; and it is further

ORDERED that Plaintiff’s renewed request to proceed in forma

pauperis is DENIED; and it is further

ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall administratively

terminate this case, without filing the Complaint or assessing a

filing fee; and it is further

ORDERED that if Plaintiff wishes to reopen this action, he

shall so notify the Court, in writing addressed to the Clerk of

the Court, Clarkson S. Fisher Building and U.S. Courthouse, 402

East State Street, Trenton, New Jersey, 08608, within 30 days of

Case 3:11-cv-00911-JAP-TJB Document 7 Filed 08/22/11 Page 2 of 3 PageID: 43
the date of entry of this Order; Plaintiff’s writing shall

include either (1) a complete in forma pauperis application,

including information from the facility at which Plaintiff was

confined to support the assertion that the six-month account

statement could not have been obtained, or (2) the $350 filing

fee; and it is further

ORDERED that the Clerk shall close the file on this matter

by making a new and separate entry on the docket reading “CIVIL

CASE CLOSED”.
