ORDER
ALLISON CLAIRE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. ECF Nos. 1, 2. However, the in forma pauperis application consists of only the first page. As a result, the application is incomplete. Also, plaintiff has not filed a certified copy of the inmate trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Plaintiff is provided the opportunity to submit a completed in forma pauperis application and a certified copy in support of the application.
In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a completed affidavit in support of the request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided by the Clerk of Court;
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner, and
3. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a certified copy of the inmate trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. Plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
