MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon the application of
Genorval Blunt for leave to commence this action without payment of
the required filing fee.

See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

Plaintiff has

submitted a signed CJA Form 23 on which he has written “on short
term disability,” but has failed to answer any of the questions
[Doc. #3].

See Local Rule 2.05(A).

As such, the Court is unable

to determine, at this time, whether plaintiff is financially unable
to pay the filing fee.

See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), Local Rule

2.05(A).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, in addition to a copy of this
Order, the Clerk of Court shall provide plaintiff with CJA Form 23
(financial affidavit).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall have thirty
(30) days from the date of this Order either to pay the statutory
filing fee of $350.00, or to submit a fully completed CJA Form 23
(financial affidavit).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court will dismiss this
case, without prejudice, if, within thirty (30) days, plaintiff
fails to pay the filing fee or to submit a fully completed CJA Form
23.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff complies with
this Order, the Clerk of Court shall cause this case to be
resubmitted to the undersigned for review under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)
and (d).1
Dated this 2nd day of March, 2012.
