IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA PANAMA CITY DIVISION DARRELL L. JACKSON, Plaintiff, vs. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES, et al., Defendants. ORDER This cause is before the court upon plaintiff filing a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (doc. 1) and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (doc. 2). The court notes that the prisoner consent form signed by plaintiff is an outdated version which reflects a filing fee of $150.00. The current filing fee for a civil case is $350.00. Because a prisoner who has been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis is ultimately responsible for the entire amount, it is important that litigants are aware of the liability they incur by filing suit. Accordingly, it is ORDERED: 1. 2. Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis (doc. 2) is DEFERRED. The clerk is directed to send plaintiff a current prisoner consent form, which CASE NO.: 5:09cv338/RH/MD

plaintiff shall fill out and file within thirty (30) days. Plaintiff need not resubmit his account information. 3. Plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in denial of his motion to

proceed in forma pauperis. DONE AND ORDERED this 21st day of October, 2009.
