GENERAL DOCKET
No. 3:14-mc-0657
Judge Sharp

ORDER

The Court has before it a pro se prisoner complaint (Docket Entry No.1) under 42 U.S.C. §
1983. The plaintiff has neglected, however, 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 ($400.00) or
submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis along 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.
The 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).
