Case No. 4:13-CV-2445-RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon review of plaintiff’s motion for leave
to commence this action without payment of the required filing fee [Doc. #2]. See
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
Plaintiff has submitted a partially-completed financial affidavit CJA Form
23 in support of his application for in forma pauperis status [Doc. #3]. Plaintiff
has failed to state whether he has any cash on hand or money in a savings or
checking account, and if he does, the total amount of said account(s). As such, the
Court is unable to determine, at this time, if he is financially unable to pay any
portion of the filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), Local Rule 2.05(A).
In accordance with the foregoing,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall have thirty (30) days from
the date of this Order to pay the statutory filing fee of $400, or to submit a fully-

completed CJA Form 23 (financial affidavit).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, upon plaintiff’s submission of a fullycompleted CJA Form 23, the Clerk shall cause this case to be resubmitted for
review under 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to pay the filing fee or
to submit a fully-completed CJA Form 23 within thirty days, this case shall be
dismissed, without prejudice and without further notice to him.
Dated this 9th day of December, 2013.
