Opinion

CASE NO. 4:08-cv-433-WS-AK.

December 11, 2008

ORDER

ALLAN KORNBLUM, Magistrate Judge

This cause is before the Court on Petitioner's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. 4. The financial certificate has not been completed by a prison official and the statement of account covers only a one-month period, not the required six-month period. Thus, the motion for IFP requires amendment. Petitioner will therefore be required to file an amended motion for IFP in this case, which includes the necessary financial certification and account information. Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

That the Clerk shall forward to Petitioner an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis;

Petitioner shall have until January 12, 2009, to file an amended application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis which includes his inmate account information and the certification, clearly designated as an "amended" application, or pay the $5.00 filing fee;

Failure to respond to this order as instructed will result in a recommendation of dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with an order of this court.

DONE AND ORDERED.
