ORDER

DALE DROZD, Magistrate Judge

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis is incomplete. He has only submitted the first page of his application, and he did not sign the application or submit the certificate portion of the application, which must be filled out and signed by an authorized prison official. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). The court will provide plaintiff another opportunity to submit a fully completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.

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

1. The Clerk of the Court shall provide plaintiff with another copy of the in forma pauperis application used by this court; and

2. Plaintiff shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, a fully completed in forma pauperis application. Plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
