DARNELL JONES, Plaintiff, v. UNKNOWN WILLIAMS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon its own motion. Plaintiff has submitted a complaint. However, plaintiff has neither paid the filing fee nor submitted a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. As a result, the Court will order plaintiff to either pay the $350 filing fee or submit a motion to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty days of the date of this Order. Additionally, if plaintiff files a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, he must also file a certified copy of his prison account statement for the six- month period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall either pay the $350 filing fee or submit a motion to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff submits a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, he must also submit a certified copy of his prison account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall mail plaintiff a copy of the Court's form motion to proceed in forma pauperis - prisoner cases.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, the Court may dismiss this action without prejudice.
