Petitioner Kevin Fields has submitted a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus,
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (ECF No. 1-1.) However, petitioner has failed to submit an
application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee. Accordingly, this matter has
not been properly commenced. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and Local Rule LSR1-2.
Petitioner has filed a properly executed financial certificate and inmate account
statements. Therefore, petitioner will have thirty (30) days from the date of this order to
either pay the $5.00 filing fee or submit a completed application to proceed in forma
pauperis on the proper form. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action
without prejudice.
It is therefore ordered that within thirty (30) days of the date of this order petitioner
must submit either the $5.00 filing fee or an application to proceed in forma pauperis.
It is further ordered that failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action
without prejudice.

complete the form.
