ORDER
PETER OPPENEER Magistrate Judge
Plaintiff James McDonald has filed a notice of appeal from the court's July 9, 2021 order. To date, however, plaintiff has not paid the appellate docketing fee. Although plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to proceed without payment of the appellate filing fee, plaintiff neglected to include a certified trust fund account statement (or institutional equivalent) as required by the federal in forma pauperis statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Accordingly, the court cannot consider plaintiff's motion at this time.
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff James McDonald may have until September 22, 2021 to either (1) pay the $505 appellate docketing fee; or (2) submit a certified trust fund account statement for the six-month period preceding the filing of the appeal in compliance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Failure to comply as directed may result in the dismissal of this appeal.
