ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before SEYMOUR, MURPHY, and O’BRIEN, Circuit Judges. 

	After examining appellant’s brief and the appellate record, this court has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal.  See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G).  The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
	Appellant Eli-Jah Hakeem Muhammad, a federal prisoner incarcerated in Colorado, filed a pro se complaint asserting violations of his federal civil rights.  The district court granted Muhammad’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis and ordered Muhammad to pay an initial partial filing fee of $19.00 or show cause why he had no means by which to pay the initial fee.  See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1).  Muhammad was specifically directed that to show cause he was required to file a current certified copy of his prison trust fund account statement.  He was also warned that his complaint would be dismissed if he failed to either pay the initial partial filing fee or show cause within thirty days.  Muhammad did not pay the partial filing fee or provide the current trust fund account statement.  Consequently, the district court dismissed the complaint without prejudice.  Muhammad then brought this appeal.
	In its order dismissing Muhammad’s complaint without prejudice, the district court set out at length the numerous opportunities Muhammad was given to file a certified trust fund account statement.  Although a certified copy of his prison trust fund account statement is attached to the motion to proceed in forma pauperis Muhammad has filed with this court, Muhammad does not provide a comprehensible explanation for his failure to provide a copy of his trust fund account statement to the district court pursuant to that court’s order.  Accordingly, this court affirms the district court’s dismissal of Muhammad’s complaint without prejudice.  Muhammad’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is granted.  Muhammad is reminded that he remains obligated to continue making partial payments until his appellate filing fee is paid in full.  See id. § 1915(b).
