JACKIE CARTER,
Plaintiff,

OPINION AND ORDER

v.

12-cv-574-wmc
App. No. 14-3575

MICHAEL MEISNER, et al.,
Defendants.

Judgment was entered in this case on October 31, 2014 granting summary judgment
in favor of defendants and dismissing this case. Now plaintiff Jackie Carter has filed a notice
of appeal. (Dkt. # 100). Plaintiff has not paid the $505 appellate docketing fee, so this
court construes plaintiff’s appeal to include a request for leave to proceed on appeal in forma
pauperis.

The court cannot consider this motion, however, because it lacks supporting

documentation regarding his eligibility for indigent status. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). For
his appeal to proceed, plaintiff must either pay the $505 appellate docketing fee within
twenty days or submit a certified inmate trust fund account statement (or institutional
equivalent) for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of his appeal.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that, plaintiff Jackie Carter may have until December 19, 2014 to
either (1) pay the $505 appellate docketing fee; or (2) submit a certified copy of his inmate

trust fund account statement, in compliance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).
comply as directed may result in the dismissal of his appeal without further notice.
