August 10, 2023 Filing 5 NOTICE OF INSUFFICIENCY. The plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis; in other words, he seeks to commence a federal lawsuit 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, accompanied by a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement for the six month period preceding his complaint. 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 plaintiff submitted the wrong in forma pauperis application form. In particular, the form he used does not have the required prisoner authorization and certification of inmate balance pages. He also did not submit a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement covering six months of transactions. His application is therefore insufficient. The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to send the plaintiff a blank copy of the correct application form at his address of record. The plaintiff is directed to fill out the form completely and accurately, and to file it with the Clerk of the Court along with a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement covering at least the period from February 4, 2023, to August 4, 2023. If he does not do so by August 31, 2023, his case may be dismissed. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 8/10/23.(Pesta, J.)
August 4, 2023 Filing 4 Notice: Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7.1, a disclosure statement must be filed with a party's first appearance, pleading, petition, motion, response, or other request addressed to the Court and must be supplemented if any required information changes during the case. Signed by Clerk on 8/4/2023.(Samson, Jessalyn)
