ROBERT EARL ALEXANDER, Plaintiff, v. NATHAN TAPIO, et al Defendants.
App. No. 22-1650
ORDER
PETER OPPENEER, MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff Robert Earl Alexander has filed a notice of appeal from the court's March 15, 2022 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.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Robert Earl Alexander may have until May 18, 2022 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.
