GENERAL DOCKET
No. 3:14-mc-0498
Judge Sharp

ORDER

Presently before the Court is a pro se prisoner complaint (Docket Entry No. 1). The plaintiff,
however, has neglected to either pay the fee required for the filing of the complaint or submit a
properly completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.
Accordingly, the plaintiff is hereby GRANTED thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this
order on the docket in which to either pay the civil filing fee of four hundred dollars ($400) or
submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis with a certified copy of his inmate trust account
statement for the previous six month period. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). The Clerk will provide the
plaintiff with a blank application to proceed in forma pauperis and a copy of Administrative Order
No. 93.
Plaintiff is forewarned that, should he fail to comply with these instructions within the
specified period of time, the Court will presume that he is not a pauper, assess the filing fee and
order its collection from his inmate trust account, and dismiss the instant action for want of
prosecution. McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F.3d 601, 606 (6th Cir. 1997).
