SEUNG HAN, Plaintiff, v. PIERCE COUNTY, et al., Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO WAIVE PRISON TRUST ACCOUNT STATEMENT
S. KATE VAUGHAN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On July 10, 2023, Plaintiff moved to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in this action. Dkt. 1. That same day, the Court notified Plaintiff that his IFP application was deficient because it failed to include a certified copy of his prison trust account statement showing transactions for the last six months. Dkt. 3. The Court gave Plaintiff until August 9, 2023, to correct his application. Id.
Plaintiff now moves to waive the prison trust account statement requirement, alleging he has “consistently been trying to get [his] 6 month prison trust account statement from public disclosure but they are not granting [his] request.” Dkt. 4. The Court, finding good cause, hereby GRANTS Plaintiff's motion and waives the prison trust account statement requirement for Plaintiff's IFP application.
The Clerk is directed to send copies of this order to the parties and to the Honorable Thomas S. Zilly.
