forma pauperis and has done neither. Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to submit either the
$5.00 payment of the filing fee or his request to proceed in forma pauperis. Therefore, it is
ORDERED:
That within 30 days petitioner is directed to either pay the filing fee with a money order or a
check issued from his prison inmate account, or fill out the attached application to proceed in forma
pauperis, complete the authorization for release and have the authorized officer responsible for
overseeing his prison account fill out the certificate of account, and mail to the Clerk's Office.
Petitioner is directed to acknowledge receipt of this order by signing the enclosed
acknowledgment form and returning it to the court within 10 days of this date. Petitioner is also
warned that his failure to comply with the requirements of this order may lead to the dismissal of his
petition for failure to prosecute and for failure to comply with an order of the court.
