Plaintiff Broderick R. Fields (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, filed this case on September 26, 2016. (ECF No. 1.)

prejudice; 

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve this order and a blank IFP application

file the attached application to proceed in forma pauperis, completed and signed, or in the 

alternative, pay the $400.00 filing fee for this action;
