JOSHUA LYNN SHORTY, JR PLAINTIFF v. DOE DEFENDANT
ORDER
D.P. Marshall Jr. United States District Judge
1. Shorty hasn't paid the filing and administrative fees ($405) or filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. He must do one or the other by 21 March 2024. If he doesn't, his case will be dismissed without prejudice. LOCAL RULE 5.5(c)(2).
2. The Court directs the Clerk to mail Shorty an application to proceed in forma pauperis and a blank § 1983 form. If the Court grants him permission to proceed in forma pauperis, then the administrative fee will be waived, but Shorty will have to pay the $350 filing fee in monthly installments taken from his prisoner account. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b).
3. Shorty's motions for copies, Doc. 2 & 3, are denied. The Court doesn't have access to the papers he seeks.
So Ordered.
