MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on its own motion. The above-captioned matter
has been provisionally filed on July 21, 2011. (Filing No. 1.) However, due to
certain technical defects, the Complaint cannot be further processed until such defects
are corrected. To assure further consideration of the Complaint, Plaintiff must correct
the defect listed below. FAILURE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT MAY
RESULT IN DISMISSAL OF THE PETITION.
Plaintiff has failed to include the $350.00 filing fee. Plaintiff has the choice
of either tendering the $350.00 fee to the Clerk of the court or submitting a request
to proceed in forma pauperis and an affidavit of poverty in support thereof. If
Plaintiff chooses to do the latter, the enclosed pauper’s forms should be completed
and returned to this court.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.
Plaintiff is directed to correct the above-listed technical defect in the
Complaint on or before September 5, 2011.
