DEFENDANT

DOE
ORDER

1. Walker hasn't paid the $400 filing and administrative fees or filed an

application to proceed in forma pauperis. He must do one or the other by
3 February 2017. If he doesn't, then his case will be dismissed without
prejudice. LOCAL RULE 5.5(2).
2. Walker must file an amended complaint too. It's unclear from

Walker's complaint who he's suing and what relief he wants. Walker's
amended complaint must explain who allegedly violated his rights, how they
did so, and what relief he wants. If Walker doesn't file an amended complaint
by 3 February 2017, then his case will be dismissed without prejudice. LOCAL
RULE 5.5(2).

3. The Court directs the Clerk to mail Walker a blank§ 1983 complaint
form and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. If the Court grants
Walker permission to proceed in forma pauperis, he will have to pay the $350

filing fee in monthly installments taken from his prisoner account. 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(b).

So Ordered.
