Date Filed Document Text
January 19, 2024 Filing 8 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. At the time plaintiff filed his motion he was incarcerated and thus subject to the federal law, 28 U.S.C. 1915, which among other things, allows prisoners to seek in forma pauperis status if they submit (1) a financial affidavit showing that they are unable to pay, and (2) a certified copy of their inmate trust account statement for the six month period preceding their complaint. In this case, the plaintiff left the financial affidavit form entirely blank. He also did not provide a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement.The Court understands that the plaintiff has since been released from prison, indicated by the updated address on the docket. Because he has been released, he is no longer required to file a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement. See Perez v. Bryant, No. 20-cv-0079 (CM), 2020 WL 2857156, at *1 ("Upon a prisoner's release, his obligation to pay fees is to be determined, like any non-prisoner, solely by whether he qualifies for in forma pauperis status. A released prisoner may litigate without further prepayment of fees upon satisfying the poverty affidavit requirement applicable to all non-prisoners."). But he is still required to file a complete, filled-out financial affidavit form.Given this, the Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to send plaintiff a blank copy of the standard non-prisoner 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. If he does not do so by February 8, 2024, his case may be dismissed. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 1/19/2024.(Corriette, M.)
