Petitioner was further advised that his failure to pay the filing fee or, alternatively, to file a completed IFP application, within thirty days, would result in dismissal of the action. Along with said notice, petitioner was sent a copy of the court-approved prisoner's IFP application, instructions for completing it, and a return envelope.
