CASE NO. 1:11-cv-204-MP-GRJ.

October 3, 2011

ORDER

GARY JONES, Magistrate Judge

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Mayo Correctional Institution in Mayo, Florida, initiated this civil action by filing Doc. 1, a pro se civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff failed to either pay the $350.00 filing fee or file a motion for leave to proceed as a pauper. Pursuant to N.D. Fla. Loc. R. 5.1(H), "[a] civil action shall not be filed by the clerk until the fee is paid . . . unless the complaint or petition is accompanied by a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [IFP]."

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

(1) Plaintiff shall either pay the $350.00 filing fee or move for leave to proceed as a pauper on or before October 14, 2011.

(2) The Clerk is directed to send Plaintiff a blank motion to proceed in forma pauperis for use by a prisoner.

(3) Failure to comply with this order within the allotted time will result in a recommendation that this case be dismissed.

DONE AND ORDERED.
