          KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

         Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the required filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a).

         In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

         1. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court, or the appropriate filing fee; any application to proceed in forma pauperis must be prepared on the form provided with this order and must bear the case number assigned to this action; plaintiff's failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action; and

         2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner.
