IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA PENSACOLA DIVISION SIDNEY MARTS, JOHNNIE PUTTS, Plaintiffs, vs. WALTER A. MCNEIL, et al., Defendants. Case No. 3:08cv504/WS/MD

ORDER Pursuant to this court's November 7, 2008 order (doc. 4), plaintiffs have filed a notice of intent to proceed jointly in this case (doc. 8). Accordingly, as outlined in the court's previous order, each plaintiff must submit a separate application to proceed in forma pauperis. A complete application to proceed in forma pauperis includes a motion with supporting affidavit, and a prisoner consent form and financial certificate with supporting documentation. The supporting documentation must include a certified copy of the inmate's trust fund account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. Here, the relevant time period is from May 2, 2008 through November 2, 2008. If a plaintiff was incarcerated at more than one institution/jail during the six month period, he is required to obtain an account statement from the appropriate official of each facility at which he is or has been confined. If a plaintiff was not incarcerated in any institution/jail, then he should inform the court (by affidavit) of his whereabouts during the relevant time period. Accordingly, it is ORDERED: 1. The Clerk shall send each plaintiff a form application for leave to proceed in

forma pauperis. This case number shall be written on the forms.
