DEFICIENCY ORDER

Plaintiff, a prisoner at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, and proceeding pro se, has
filed a complaint. However, pro se Plaintiff has neither paid the Court’s $400 filing fee nor
moved to proceed in forma pauperis. Additionally, Plaintiff has failed to file the civil cover
sheet. As such, Plaintiff is ORDERED to either pay the $400 filing fee or complete the attached
Application and Affidavit by an Incarcerated Person to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and
Costs, and submit it together with the required prisoner account statement on or before September
16, 2013. (If you are granted in forma pauperis status, the filing fee will be reduced to $350.)
Plaintiff is ADVISED that, if the issue of the filing fee is not addressed by the September
16, 2013 deadline, the Court will recommend that this case be closed, and Plaintiff’s complaint
dismissed, due to his lack of prosecution and failure to comply with this Order.
The Clerk shall promptly mail a copy of this Order, an Application and Affidavit by an
Incarcerated Person to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Costs, and a civil cover sheet to
Plaintiff at the address on the docket.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
