ORDER

Plaintiff,

Case No. 20-cv-704-jdp

JOHN DOE, et al.
Defendants.

Plaintiff Patrick S. Tate has filed a proposed civil complaint and requested leave to
proceed without prepaying the filing fee. To evaluate plaintiff’s request to proceed without
prepayment of the filing fee, I must review a certified copy of plaintiff’s inmate trust fund
account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the six-month period immediately preceding
the filing of the complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).
For this case to proceed, plaintiff must submit the certified trust fund account statement
no later than August 20, 2020. If I find that plaintiff is indigent, I will calculate an initial partial
payment amount that must be paid before the court can screen the merits of the complaint
under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Thereafter, plaintiff will be required to pay the balance of the
filing fee in installments.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Patrick S. Tate may have until August 20, 2020 to submit a

trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately January 30, 2020 and
ending approximately July 30, 2020. If, by August 20, 2020, plaintiff fails to respond to this
order, I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw this action voluntarily.

In that

event, the case will be closed without prejudice to plaintiff filing the case at a later date.
