FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS
JESSE JOSEPH AICH,
Plaintiff,
v. 	CASE NO. 25-3255-JWL
RENO COUNTY CORRECTIONAL
FACILITY, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiff filed this pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 	The Court granted
Plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff is in custody at the Reno County Correctional
Facility in Hutchinson, Kansas. On December 12, 2025, the Court entered a Memorandum and
Order (Doc. 7) dismissing this case for failure to state a claim. On December 22, 2025, Plaintiff
filed a Notice of Appeal (Doc. 10). 	On January 5, 2026, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to
Appeal In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 13). On January 7, 2026, the Court entered an Order to Show
Cause (Doc. 14) granting Plaintiff until January 26, 2026, in which to show cause why his motion
for leave to appeal in forma pauperis should not be denied for failure to provide the information
required by Fed. R. App. P. 24(a).
Plaintiff failed to state the issues he intends to present on appeal and failed to provide a
certified copy of his trust fund account statement for the 6-month period immediately preceding
the filing of his notice of appeal. 	See 28 U.S.C. 	§ 1915(a)(2). 	The Court ordered Plaintiff to
remedy these defects by January 26, 2026.
Plaintiff has failed to respond by the Court’s deadline and has failed to show cause why his
motion to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis (Doc. 13) should not be denied for failure to provide
the required information as set forth in the Court’s Order to Show Cause. Therefore, Plaintiff’s

motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis is denied. Plaintiff may file a motion for leave to
appeal in forma pauperis with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals pursuant to the procedure set
forth in Rule 24(a)(5) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Appeal In Forma
Pauperis (Doc. 13) is denied.
Copies of this order shall be transmitted to Plaintiff and to the Clerk of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
