Raynard Davis v. Federal Bureau of Prisons et al.
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Honorable Steve Kim, United States Magistrate Judge
Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Plaintiff originally filed this Bivens lawsuit in the Colorado District Court, which transferred the case here. (ECF 1). While the Colorado court forwarded Plaintiffs application to proceed in forma pauperis, Plaintiffs application is-and always was-incomplete. The trust account statement submitted by Plaintiff was never certified by prison officials as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The "Certificate of Prison Official" form is blank and unsigned. (ECF 2 at 4).
Therefore, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE on or before Wednesday November 3, 2021. why his in forma pauperis application should not be denied for failure to submit a certified trust account statement. To discharge this order, Plaintiff need only file a signed "Certificate of Prison Official" for his trust account statement for the last six months. Failure to do so or to file any other timely response to this order may lead to involuntary dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); L.R. 41-1.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
