RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis [Document # 1] be denied and the case dismissed without prejudice. II. REPORT When submitting a Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, the Plaintiff is required to submit "an affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such prisoner possesses that the person is unable to pay such fees or give security therefor." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). In addition to the aforementioned affidavit, Plaintiff is further required to "submit a certified copy of the trust fund account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the prisoner for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint or notice of appeal, obtained from the appropriate official of each prison at which the prisoner is or was confined." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). In this case, Plaintiff has failed to submit a copy of his institutional account statement, certified or otherwise. Because Plaintiff has failed to comply with the statutory prerequisites for proceeding In Forma Pauperis, Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis should be denied and the case dismissed without prejudice.
