ORDER
DALE A. DROZD, Magistrate Judge.
Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Petitioner has not submitted his in forma pauperis request on a proper form.
Petitioner's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis will be denied, and petitioner will be granted thirty days to submit a new request on a proper form. Petitioner is cautioned that the form includes a section that must be completed by a prison official, and the application form must be accompanied by a certified copy of petitioner's prison trust account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of this action.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Petitioner's March 2, 2015 request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is denied without prejudice;
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis By a Prisoner; and
3. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a properly completed application to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided with this order; petitioner is cautioned that failure to comply with this order or seek an extension of time to do so will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
