ORDER
1.

Flow hasn’t paid the filing and administrative fees ($405) or

filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. He must do one or
the other by 3 February 2025. If he doesn’t, his case will be dismissed
without prejudice. LOCAL RULE 5.5(c)(2).

2.

The Court directs the Clerk to mail Flow an application to

proceed in forma pauperis and a blank § 1983 form. If the Court grants
him permission to proceed in forma pauperis, then the administrative fee
will be waived, but Flow will have to pay the $350 filing fee in monthly
installments taken from his prisoner account. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b).
So Ordered.
