ORDER FOR CLERK TO SEND

APPLICATION TO PLAINTIFF

THIRTY DAY DEADLINE

Shadale L. Williams (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 17, 2007, the undersigned issued findings and

recommendations, recommending that plaintiff's case be dismissed for failure to obey the court's

August 28, 2007 order which required plaintiff to submit an application to proceed in forma

pauperis to the court, or pay the $350.00 filing fee, within thirty days. On October 29, 2007,

plaintiff filed objections to the findings and recommendations, on the grounds that his pending

"Motion for Contempt," filed on September 10, 2007, explains to the court why he has been

unable to comply with the court’s order. In the "Motion for Contempt," plaintiff allegedthat he

was unable to submit the application to proceed in forma pauperis because prison officials failed

to supply the documentation he needs, despite being provided with a copy of the court's order. 

In light of the foregoing, the court shall vacate the findings and recommendations of

October 17, 2007, and shall grant plaintiff additional time to comply with the court's August 28,

2007 order. Plaintiff is advised that he must pay the $350.00 filing fee for this action, or in the

alternative, submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis and a certified copy of his prison

trust account statement, within thirty days of the date of service of this order. Plaintiff is

advised that it is ultimately plaintiff’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. Plaintiff is directed to provide a copy of this order to the prison trust

office. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations, issued on October 17, 2007, are VACATED;

2. Within thirty (30) days of the date of service of this order, plaintiff SHALL

SUBMIT a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis and a 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 $350.00 filing

fee for this action; and

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

be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
