ORDER DENYING APPLICATION

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 5)

ORDER TO SUBMIT NEW

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS AND CERTIFIED

COPY OF TRUST ACCOUNT

STATEMENT OR PAY FILING FEE

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of habeas

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. (Court Doc. 1). Petitioner has also filed an application to

proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Court Doc. 5). 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 filed a certified

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

of the petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Petitioner will be provided the opportunity to submit

a new application to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his trust account statement

or pay the $5.00 filing fee.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (Court Doc. 5) is denied

without prejudice, as incomplete.
