IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall mail to plaintiff a copy of the
Court’s form Prisoner Civil Rights Complaint.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall mail to plaintiff a copy of
the Court’s form Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis – Prisoner Cases.

for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to comply with this Order,
the Court will dismiss this action without prejudice. If the case is dismissed, the
