ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE COMPLETE IN FORMA PAUPERIS APPLICATION
On June 24, 2011, Plaintiff filed the instant civil rights action in pro se pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On the same day, the Clerk sent Plaintiff notice that he must either pay the filing fee or file an In Forma Pauperis ("IFP") Application to proceed with this action. (Docket No. 2.) Plaintiff thereafter filed an IFP application which is deficient because the attached Certificate of Funds in Prisoner's Account was not completed by an authorized prison official. (Docket No. 3.) In the interest of justice, the Court will grant Plaintiff an extension of time to file a completed Certificate of Funds in Prisoner's Account to complete his IFP application.
Plaintiff shall submit the missing document within thirty (30) days of the date this order is filed. Failure to file the necessary document will result in the denial of the application to proceed in forma pauperis , and the complete filing fee will be immediately due.
The Clerk shall enclose two blank copies of the Certificate of Funds in Prisoner's Account with a copy of this order to Plaintiff.
