| Filing 6 Response by Julian Thomas regarding 2/26/2024 Text Order. (RES) |
|
TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on 2/26/2024: Plaintiff has filed a Petition to Proceed in Forma Pauperis #4 , along with his Prisoner Trust Fund Ledger #5 . While his prison account has a balance of $1,759.41, as Plaintiff highlights, he only has an "available balance" of $72.90. His Trust Fund Ledger indicates that $1,686.51 is unavailable and categorized as "other encumbrances." Inmate funds may be encumbered for various reasons, including at the inmates request. See BOP Program Statement P4500.12 at 71. All encumbrances are documented to make the reason for the encumbrance clear. Id. at 72. Plaintiff has not provided an explanation of why these funds are encumbered and, without such an explanation, the Court cannot determine Plaintiff's accurate ability to pay the filing fee. Accordingly, within 21 days of the entry of this order, Plaintiff must provide the Court with further explanation of the encumbered funds, including any available documentation regarding the encumbrance. Failure to comply without good cause will result in dismissal of this case without prejudice, and the Plaintiff will still be responsible for payment of the filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1914.(ANW)
