For the Northern District of California

11

On November 16, 2015, plaintiff, an inmate at the Solano County Jail, filed a pro se
12

petition for a writ of mandamus. The same day, the clerk of the Court sent a notification to
13

plaintiff that he must file an in forma pauperis application or pay the full filing fee to avoid
14

dismissal of the action. (Docket No. 2.) On November 24, 2015, plaintiff filed an in forma
15

pauperis application. (Docket No. 4.) However, this application is deficient as plaintiff has
16

failed to submit a copy of his prisoner trust account statement showing transactions for the
17

last six months.
18

In the interest of justice, the Court will grant plaintiff an extension of time to file the
19

missing document, i.e., a copy of his prisoner trust account statement showing transactions
20

for the last six months, no later than twenty-eight (28) days from the date this order is filed.
21

In the alternative, plaintiff may pay the full $400.00 filing fee.
22

Failure to respond in accordance with this order in the time provided may result
23

in dismissal of this case without prejudice for failure to pay the filing fee without
24

further notice to plaintiff.
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
