ORDER
Case No. 25-cv-175-jdp

Defendants.

Plaintiff Glenn R. Jeffery, Jr. has filed two proposed civil complaints, but has neither
paid the filing fees nor requested leave to proceed without prepayment. For these cases to
proceed, plaintiff must pay the $405 filing fee 1 for each case or submit a properly supported
motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee no later than February 27,
2025.
A motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee must be
accompanied by a certified copy of plaintiff’s inmate trust fund account statement (or
institutional equivalent) for the six-month period immediately preceding the date of the
complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). If I find that plaintiff is indigent, I will calculate initial

partial payment amounts that must be paid before the court can screen the merits of the
complaints under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Thereafter, plaintiff will be required to pay the
balance of the filing fees in installments.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Glenn R. Jeffery may have until February 27, 2025 to
submit the $405 filing fee for each case or a motion for leave to proceed without prepayment
and a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately September 6, 2024
and ending approximately March 6, 2025. If, by February 27, 2025, plaintiff fails to respond
to this order, I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw the actions voluntarily. In that
event, the cases will be closed without prejudice to plaintiff filing the case at a later date.
