DISCUSSION
10
On January 11, 2024, the Court ordered Plaintiff to either pay the $405 filing fee
11
or file a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis by March 15, 2024. (ECF No.
12
5). Plaintiff subsequently filed three motions for an extension of time, indicating that the
13
NDOC had not yet provided him a financial certificate or a six-month account statement,
14
even though he had actually attached those documents to his first amended complaint.
15
(ECF Nos. 9, 10, 11, 8 at 17-24). The Court granted Plaintiff’s motion and gave him until
16
April 15, 2024, to file a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 12).
17
Plaintiff has filed two financial certificates and two six-month account statements,
18
but he has not filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF Nos. 13, 14). In
19
light of Plaintiff’s filings, the Court will grant Plaintiff one final opportunity to file a complete
20
application to proceed in forma pauperis, or, in the alternative, pay the $405 filing fee on
21
or before June 7, 2024.
22
II.
CONCLUSION
23
It is therefore ordered the Court grants Plaintiff until June 7, 2024, to either pay
24
the full $405 filing fee or file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis with
25
all three required documents: (1) a completed application with the inmate’s two signatures
26
on page 3, (2) a completed financial certificate that is signed both by the inmate and the
27
prison or jail official, and (3) a copy of the inmate’s trust fund account statement for the
28
previous six-month period.
1
Plaintiff is cautioned that this action will be subject to dismissal without prejudice if
2
Plaintiff fails to timely comply with this order. A dismissal without prejudice allows Plaintiff
3
to refile the case with the Court, under a new case number, when Plaintiff can file a
4
complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the required filing fee.
