NICOLAS VASQUEZ, II., Petitioner, v. JIM ROBERTSON, Warden, Respondent.
ORDER
DEBORAH BARNES UNITED STATES 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. Petitioner has not, however, filed a properly completed in forma pauperis affidavit or paid the required filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). Specifically, petitioner failed to answer questions 3-7 on the application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 7 at 2.)
Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to either submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to proceed in forma pauperis or submit the appropriate filing fee.
In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a properly completed affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee;
2. Petitioner's failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed; and
3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner a copy of the in forma pauperis form used by this district.
