Case No. 3:16-cv-1020-NJR-DGW

ORDER
WILKERSON, Magistrate Judge:
On January 20, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion to stay the Order setting forth in forma
pauperis payments (Doc. 12). Plaintiff filed this motion in three other cases filed in this District,
15-cv-254-SMY-RJD, 16-cv-959-NJR-DGW, and 15-cv-794-SMY-RJD.

In the later case,

Magistrate Judge Daly directed the Clerk to send to Plaintiff a copy of his balance sheet of funds
owed in cases in this District and directed Plaintiff to resolve the issue with the prison first.
Magistrate Judge Daly also directed Plaintiff to submit a current trustfund account statement and
to describe efforts taken to resolve this matter in any subsequent motion. As Plaintiff already has
received a balance sheet of funds owed in this case, the undersigned adopts Magistrate Judge
Daly’s findings and directions and incorporates them herein. Plaintiff’s motion is accordingly
DENIED, but without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: January 31, 2017

DONALD G. WILKERSON
United States Magistrate Judge
