Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Petitioner has not, however, filed a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to submit a certified copy of his trust account statement in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis, or pay the $5.00 filing fee.
In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within thirty days of the date of service of this order, petitioner shall submit a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the petition, or in the alternative, pay the $5.00 filing fee for this action. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
