May 23, 2023 Filing 8 NOTICE OF INSUFFICIENCY. The petitioner has filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis; in other words, he seeks to file a Petition for Writ of Mandamus without pre-paying the filing fee. A federal law, 28 U.S.C. 1915, permits him to do so if, among other things, he submits a financial affidavit showing that he is unable to pay. To assist inmates in demonstrating inability to pay, the District of Connecticut has prepared a standard-form in forma pauperis application.In this case, the petitioner submitted the wrong in forma pauperis application form. Among other things, the form he filled out does not have a space for providing the balance of his inmate trust account. His application is therefore insufficient. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to send the petitioner a blank copy of the correct application form at his address of record. The petitioner is directed to fill out the form completely and accurately, including truthfully answering Question 7 on page 2 under penalty of perjury, and to file it with the Clerk of the Court. If he does not do so by June 12, 2023, his petition may be dismissed. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 5/23/2023.(Corriette, M.)
