         Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

         In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

         1. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee; petitioner's failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this action; and

         2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner a copy of the in forma pauperis form used by this district.
