ORDER

Plaintiff submitted a complaint for filing in this district, together with a request for leave
to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). ECF Nos. 1, 2. The undersigned finds that more
information is needed to rule on Plaintiff’s IFP application.
Plaintiff’s IFP application indicates that he receives approximately $25,000 from a trust
account each year. ECF No. 2, at 1. However, Plaintiff does not specify the terms of the trust
or how distributions are made. Plaintiff also does not state whether he may freely draw from the
trust, and if not, whether he has petitioned the trustee to release funds to pay the filing fee.
Plaintiff is directed to submit an amended IFP application providing more detailed information
regarding his trust account by April 18, 2012. Should Plaintiff fail to comply within the required
period of time, his complaint will become subject to summary dismissal for failure to obey a
court order.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 4th day of April 2012.
