ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
DEBRA C. POPLIN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and the Rules of this Court on Plaintiff's Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (“Application”) [Doc. 1].
A prisoner seeking to proceed in forma pauperis must file an (1) an application to proceed in forma pauperis without payment and (2) a certified copy of his inmate trust account for the previous six-month period (or institutional equivalent). 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). On January 8, 2025, Plaintiff filed his Application, but he did not include a certified copy of his inmate trust account for the previous sixth-month period [Doc. 1]. Therefore, on January 10, 2025, the Court entered an Order directing Plaintiff to pay the full filing fee or submit the necessary documents in support of his Application [Doc. 4]. His deadline to correct this deficiency was February 10, 2025 [Id. at 1]. The Court warned Plaintiff that if he failed to comply with the Order, the Court would assess the full amount of fees [Id.].
On February 7, 2025, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Conduct Discovery [Doc. 5]. He included with his motion the Declaration of Inability to Comply with Court Order Doc. 4 [Doc. 5-1.]. He states that on January 16, 2025, he sent the custodian a request to obtain the certified copy of his trust fund account but that the custodian failed to complete and return the documents [Id.]. On February 10, 2025, the Court granted Plaintiff an extension to submit the necessary paperwork in light of his declaration [Doc. 6]. The Court directed Plaintiff to provide the necessary paperwork or pay the full filing fee on or before February 24, 2025 [Id.]. Plaintiff has not complied with the Court's Orders [Docs. 4 and 6], and he has not requested an extension to do so.
The Court therefore ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause on or before March 18, 2025, why his Application should not be denied for failing to comply with the Court's Orders [Doc. 4 and 6]. The Court ADMONISHES Plaintiff that the failure to timely respond to this Order will result in a recommendation that his Application be denied and that he be assessed the filing fee.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
