J. BRADFORD,

13

ORDER TO SUBMIT ENCLOSED
APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA
PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING FEE WITHIN 30
DAYS
Defendant.

14
Plaintiff—a prisoner—initiated this action by filing a pro se civil rights complaint under

15
16

42 U.S.C. § 1983 on January 18, 2023. (Doc. No. 1). Although Plaintiff submitted his inmate

17

account statement (Doc. No. 2), he did not accompany the complaint with an application to

18

proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 signed under penalty of perjury.

19

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

20

Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this order, Plaintiff shall either: (1) complete the

21

attached application to proceed in forma pauperis; or (2) pay the $402.00 filing fee. If Plaintiff

22

fails to timely comply with this order, or request an extension by showing good cause, the

23

undersigned will recommend the Court dismiss this case for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with a

24

court order and/or prosecute this action.
