VERNON HOOKS, Plaintiff, v. J. BRADFORD, Defendant.
ORDER TO SUBMIT ENCLOSED APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING FEE WITHIN 30 DAYS
HELENA M. BARCH-KUCHTA UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff-a prisoner-initiated this action by filing a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on January 18, 2023. (Doc. No. 1). Although Plaintiff submitted his inmate account statement (Doc. No. 2), he did not accompany the complaint with an application to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 signed under penalty of perjury.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED:
Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this order, Plaintiff shall either: (1) complete the attached application to proceed in forma pauperis; or (2) pay the $402.00 filing fee. If Plaintiff fails to timely comply with this order, or request an extension by showing good cause, the undersigned will recommend the Court dismiss this case for Plaintiff's failure to comply with a court order and/or prosecute this action.
