No. CIV S-12-0662 EFB P

Plaintiff, a prisoner without counsel, has filed a complaint alleging civil rights violations

16

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. To proceed with a civil action a plaintiff must pay the $350 filing fee

17

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) or request leave to proceed in forma pauperis and submit the

18

affidavit and trust account statement required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Plaintiff has neither paid

19

the fee nor submitted a proper application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

20

Accordingly, plaintiff has 30 days from the date of service of this order to submit either

21

the filing fee or the application required by § 1915(a). The Clerk of the Court is directed to mail

22

to plaintiff a form application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Failure to comply with this

23

order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.

24

So ordered.
