Accordingly,

form Prisoner Civil Rights Complaint.

Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis - Prisoner Cases.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall file an amended complaint on the Courtprovided form within (30) days of the date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall either pay the $400 filing fee or submit a
motion to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order.

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 dismissal will not constitute
a "strike" under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
