certified copy of his inmate trust account for the previous six-month period.
Plaintiff shall have thirty (30) days from the date of this Order to pay the full filing
fee or to submit the necessary documents. The Clerk is DIRECTED to send plaintiff an

to fully comply with this Order within the time required, the Court shall presume that
plaintiff is not a pauper, shall assess the full amount of fees, and shall order the case
dismissed for want of prosecution.
