IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is kindly directed to send Plaintiff a blank application to proceed in forma pauperis (non-inmate packet) as well as the accompanying instruction packet.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that by November 7, 2022, Plaintiff must either: (1) file a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis, on the correct form; or (2) pay the full $402 filing fee for a civil action, which includes the $350 filing fee and the $52 administrative fee. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation to the District Judge that this action be dismissed.
