| Muhammad v. Hogan
Muhammad v. Hogan
DONALD ABDULLAH MUHAMMAD, Plaintiff,v.DR. ELIZABETH HOGAN, et al, Defendants.
Plaintiff Donald Abdullah Muhammad, a prisoner confined at Ann Klein Forensic Center in Trenton, New Jersey at the time of filing, seeks to bring this civil action in forma pauperis, without prepayment of fees or security, asserting claims pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"), which amends 28 U.S.C. § 1915, establishes certain financial requirements for prisoners who are attempting to bring a civil action in forma pauperis. Under the Act, a prisoner bringing a civil action in forma pauperis must submit an affidavit, including a statement of all assets, which states that the prisoner is unable to pay the fee. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). The prisoner also must submit a certified copy of his inmate trust fund account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). The prisoner must obtain this statement from the appropriate official of each prison at which he was or is confined. Id. The entire fee to be paid in advance of filing a civil complaint is $400. That fee includes a filing fee of $350 plus an administrative fee of $50, for a total of $400. A prisoner who is granted in forma pauperis status will, instead, be assessed a filing fee of $350 and will not be responsible for the $50 administrative fee. If in forma pauperis status is denied, the prisoner must pay the full $400, including the $350 filing fee and the $50 administrative fee, before the complaint will be filed.
In this action, Plaintiff asserts that he is a prisoner and thus is required to submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), (2) including certified copy of the inmate trust fund account statement which reflects the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).[1]
THEREFORE, it is on this 30th day of April, 2014;
