Affidavit (Doc. #2) (“Application”). Plaintiff has included the affidavit required by 28 U.S.C. §
1915(a)(1). Plaintiff has also included a certified copy of his inmate account statement from the
Adult Correctional Institutions (“ACI”), where he is currently incarcerated. However, the account
statement is for the period from June 21, 2011, through November18, 2011, and the certification date
is November 21, 2011. Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. #1) was filed on February 21, 2012. Thus, the
