Summary
The United States District Court for the District of Arizona denies Paul Thorit Agneberg's application to proceed in forma pauperis without prejudice because he did not use the required form or submit a certified six-month trust account statement. The Court gives him 30 days to pay the filing and administrative fees or submit a complete in forma pauperis application and supporting account statement. The Court also denies without prejudice his motion for constitutional access to courts and warns that failure to comply may result in dismissal without further notice.

Questions Presented
- Whether plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis complied with 28 U.S.C. § 1915 and the District of Arizona's local requirements.
- Whether plaintiff demonstrated a basis for relief on his motion for constitutional access to courts based on an alleged lack of writing supplies.
Holdings
- The application to proceed in forma pauperis was deficient because plaintiff did not use the court-approved prisoner form and did not submit a certified six-month trust-account statement; the application was therefore properly denied without prejudice, subject to plaintiff's opportunity to cure within 30 days.
- The motion for constitutional access to courts was denied without prejudice because plaintiff did not allege facts showing that a lack of writing supplies prevented him from filing documents in this action.
