IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 15-cv-02733-GPG JAMES KERN, Plaintiff, v. ANDREWS, FNU, ALLEN, FNU, Defendants. SECOND ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO CURE DEFICIENCIES Plaintiff, James Kern, filed pro se a Prisoner Complaint on December 16, 2015. (ECF No. 1). On December 21, 2015, the Court determined that the document was deficient and directed Plaintiff to cure the deficiencies if he wished to pursue his claims in this action. (ECF No. 3). Specifically, the Court instructed Plaintiff to file a Prisoner’s Motion and Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 or to pay the filing in full. In response, on January 26, 2016, Plaintiff submitted a Letter to the Court (ECF No. 4) and a Prisoner’s Motion and Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (ECF No. 5). In the Letter, Plaintiff notified the Court that he does not have access to the court-approved forms for the District of Colorado. He also requested that he be able to use the initial installment fee of $39.00 that was paid for his previous case, 15-cv-00957-GPG, which was dismissed, as part of the filing fee for this case. That request is denied. As the Authorization states in the § 1915 Motion, “the total filing fee 1 of $350.00 is due and will be paid from [the inmate’s] trust fund account or institutional equivalent regardless of the outcome of this case.” (ECF No. 5 at 3). Plaintiff signed the same authorization for his previous case. See 15-cv-00-957, ECF No. 9 at 3. Additionally, as part of the Court’s review pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 8.1(b), the Court has determined that the submitted Prisoner’s Motion and Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (ECF No. 5) is deficient as described in this order. Plaintiff will be directed to cure the following if he wishes to pursue his claims.
