Petitioner,

v.

W. KNIPP, Warden

Respondent.

No. 2:15-cv-1623 DAD P

ORDER

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

corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, together with a request for leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. 

Petitioner has failed to file his request to proceed in forma pauperis on the form used for

provided the opportunity to either submit the appropriate affidavit in support of a request to 

proceed in forma pauperis (including a certified copy of his prison trust account statement for the 

six month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint) or else submit the required 

filing fee ($5.00). See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a); 1915(a). 

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
