Date Filed Document Text
October 19, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER denying without prejudice ECF No. #13 Motion to Vacate and to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. The Court construes ECF No. #13 as a request to vacate ECF No. 12 ORDER for Security for Costs, and to waive the security requirement pursuant to Local Rule 83.3(b). The Court may only grant such a motion upon good cause shown, and the Court finds Plaintiffs affidavit insufficient to support such a finding. See Santora v. All About You Home Care Collaborative Health Care Services, LLC, 3:09-cv-00039 (DJS), 2010 WL 4942665 (D. Conn. Nov. 23, 2010) (finding that conclusory statements about a plaintiffs inability to pay were insufficient to support a good cause showing). The Court is mindful that the Plaintiff was able to pay the $400.00 filing fee and he did not attach a copy of his inmate account to his Affidavit or the motion. Accordingly, Plaintiff may re-submit a Motion to Modify or Waive the Security for Costs with an attached Inmate Account Statement or other supporting documentation. See Brown v. Tuttle, 3:13-cv-1444 (VAB), 2016 WL 471246 (D. Conn. Feb. 5, 2016) (granting a security modification requiring only $100 as security for costs where the prisoner-plaintiff submitted a copy of his inmate account). Alternatively, Plaintiff must file the bond as security for costs ordered, see ECF No. 12, on or before November 19, 2020. Signed by Judge Kari A. Dooley on 10/19/2020. (Banker, Joshua)
