ORDER REGARDING IN FORMA

PAUPERIS MOTION

Petitioner has filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On that same date, the Clerk

of the Court sent Petitioner a notice directing him to pay the

filing fee or to file a completed in forma pauperis (IFP)

application. Petitioner filed an IFP application; however,

Petitioner did not file a copy of the Certificate of Funds.

complete IFP application. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (a party is

petitioner is a prisoner who alleges that he is unable to pay the

full filing fee at the time of filing, he must submit: (1) an

affidavit that includes a statement of all assets he possesses, and

(2) a certified copy of the trust fund account statement for the

prisoner for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing
