ALFREDO PUENTES, Plaintiff v. AITOR NARVAZIA, et al., Defendants
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
On October 4, 2019, this Court ordered Plaintiff to file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the full $400 filing fee for a civil action within thirty (30) days from the date of that order. (ECF No. 3 at 2). On October 16, 2019, Plaintiff filed a notice advising the Court that he had turned in the paperwork to receive a financial certificate, but he had not received it yet from the NDOC. (ECF No. 4). The Court will construe Plaintiff's notice (ECF No. 4) as a motion for extension of time to file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis, including both an inmate account statement for the past six months and a properly executed financial certificate. The Court now grants Plaintiff's motion for an extension of time. Plaintiff shall file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis, including an inmate account statement for the past six months and a properly executed financial certificate, or pay the full $400 filing fee on or before within thirty (30) days from the date of this order.
II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that the Plaintiff's motion for extension of time (ECF No. 4) is granted.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within thirty (30) days from the date of this order, Plaintiff shall either: (1) file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis, on the correct form with complete financial attachments, including an inmate account statement for the past six months and a properly executed financial certificate, in compliance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a); or (2) pay the full $400 fee for filing a civil action (which includes the $350 filing fee and the $50 administrative fee).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if Plaintiff does not timely comply with this order, dismissal of this action may result.
DATED: November 13, 2019.
