TITUS HENDERSON, Plaintiff, v. TEXTBEHIND, et al, Defendants.
ORDER
STEPHEN L. CROCKER, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Titus Henderson has filed a proposed civil complaint and requested leave to proceed without prepaying the filing fee. To evaluate plaintiff's request to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee, I must review a certified copy of plaintiff's inmate trust fund account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).
For this case to proceed, plaintiff must submit the certified trust fund account statement no later than February 24, 2023. If I find that plaintiff is indigent, I will calculate an initial partial payment amount that must be paid before the court can screen the merits of the complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Thereafter, plaintiff will be required to pay the balance of the filing fee in installments.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Titus Henderson may have until February 24, 2023 to submit a trust fund account statement for the period beginning approximately July 4, 2022 and ending approximately January 3, 2023. If, by February 24, 2023, plaintiff fails to respond to this order, I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw this action voluntarily. In that event, the case will be closed without prejudice to plaintiff filing the case at a later date.
