01-04-2012
JAMES BOSTIC Plaintiff, v. DR. REDDY, et al. Defendants.
Judge Campbell
ORDER
The Court has before it a pro se prisoner complaint (Docket Entry No.1) under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The plaintiff has neglected, however, to either pay the fee required for the filing of the complaint ($350) or submit a properly completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.
Accordingly, the plaintiff is hereby GRANTED thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this order on the docket in which to either pay the civil filing fee of three hundred fifty dollars ($350.00) or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis along with a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement for the previous six month period. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). The Clerk will provide the plaintiff with a blank application to proceed in forma pauperis with a copy of Administrative Order No. 93.
The plaintiff is forewarned that, should he fail to comply with these instructions within the specified period of time, the Court will presume that he is not a pauper, assess the filing fee and order its collection from his inmate trust account, and dismiss the instant action for want of prosecution. McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F.3d 601, 606 (6th Cir. 1997).
It is so ORDERED.
