Opinion
No. 2:10-cv-1867 KJN P.
July 26, 2010
ORDER
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed his initial complaint on July 16, 2010, then a First Amended Complaint on July 22, 2010. The latter is now the operative complaint. Plaintiff has not, however, filed an in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the required filing fee to commence this action. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(a). Plaintiff will therefore be provided the opportunity either to submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or to submit the appropriate filing fee.
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 appropriate filing fee; plaintiff's failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this action; and
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner.
