CHARLES A. EDWARDS, Plaintiff, v. CORTER, et al., Defendants.
ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO SUBMIT EITHER A COMPLETE APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS OR PAY THE REQUIRED FILING FEE
ECF NO. 2
JEREMY D. PETERSON, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed an in forma pauperis affidavit, but it is incomplete and unsigned. Plaintiff will be provided the opportunity either to submit the appropriate complete affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the required fees totaling $405.00.
Plaintiff is cautioned that the in forma pauperis application form includes a section that must be completed by a prison official, and the form must be accompanied by a certified copy of plaintiff's prison trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of this action.
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 required fees in the amount of $405.00; plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed; and
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
