SECOND ORDER TO SUBMIT 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS OR PAY FILING

FEE

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On August 21, 2006, the court ordered petitioner to

submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the $5.00 filing fee. On August 28,

2006, petitioner submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis. However, petitioner’s

application to proceed in forma pauperis did not include the required original signature by an

authorized officer of the institution of incarceration. Additionally, petitioner has not submitted a

certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the six month period immediately

preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Petitioner has indicated that he had

difficulty obtaining the requested documentation. Petitioner will be provided another

opportunity to comply with the court’s order to submit a new application to proceed in forma

pauperis and a certified copy of his trust account statement, or to pay the $5.00 filing fee.

It is ultimately petitioner’s responsibility to comply with the court’s order by following

institutional procedures or otherwise assuring that the court receives the required documents or

the filing fee. Petitioner is directed to provide a copy of this order to the prison trust office. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk’s Office shall send to plaintiff the form for application to proceed in

forma pauperis, and two copies of this order. Petitioner is to provide one copy to the prison trust

office.

2. Within thirty days of the date of service of this order, petitioner shall submit a

completed application to proceed in forma pauperis and an original certified copy of his prison

trust account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the

complaint, or in the alternative, pay the $5.00 filing fee for this action. 

3. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this

action be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
