IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA PANAMA CITY DIVISION CARLOS TAYLOR, JR., Plaintiff, vs. FLORIDA DEP'T OF CORRECTIONS, Defendant. _____________________________/ ORDER This matter is before the court on Plaintiff's civil rights complaint and motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) (Docs. 1, 2). Upon review of the IFP motion and supporting financial statement, the court concludes that Plaintiff has failed to provide sufficient information for the court to grant the motion. For example, Plaintiff failed to complete Question 2.e. of the financial statement, which asks whether he received money from any source within the past twelve month (see Doc. 2). Additionally, in Question 3, Plaintiff states that he owns cash or has money in checking or savings accounts, but he failed to state the total value of the items owned (id.). In order to proceed with this case, Plaintiff must either pay the full filing fee of $350.00 or file a properly completed in forma pauperis application. If he chooses to submit a new in forma pauperis application, he should indicate the sources of any money he has received within the past twelve months and state the amount received from each source during the past twelve months. Additionally, he shall estimate the total value of cash or funds in all bank accounts that he owns so that the court has sufficient information upon which to consider his eligibility to proceed in forma pauperis. Accordingly, it is ORDERED: Case No.: 5:07cv87/SPM/EMT
