ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF AN
EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE HIS
IN FORMA PAUPERIS
APPLICATION

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT,
Defendant
____________________________________/
On November 3, 2015, plaintiff, an inmate at the Solano County Jail, filed a pro se
petition for a writ of mandamus. The same day, the clerk of the Court notified plaintiff that his
application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) was not complete in that it did not include a
certificate of funds completed and signed by a prison official or a trust account statement
showing transactions and balances for the last six months. (Docket No. 3.) On November 19,
2015, plaintiff filed a certificate of funds, but it was still missing the required trust account
statement. (Docket No. 6.)
In the interest of justice, the Court will grant plaintiff an extension of time to file the
missing document, i.e., a copy of his prisoner trust account statement showing transactions for
the last six months, no later than twenty-eight (28) days from the date this order is filed. In the
alternative, plaintiff may pay the full $400.00 filing fee.
Failure to respond in accordance with this order in the time provided may result in
dismissal of this case without prejudice for failure to pay the filing fee without further
notice to plaintiff.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
