Petitioner, a prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Petitioner has not, however, filed a completed in forma pauperis affidavit¹ or paid 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:

1 On May 30, 2006, petitioner submitted the first page only of the two page request to proceed in forma pauperis.

1. Petitioner shall submit, within thirty days from the date of this order, an affidavit in support of his request to proceed in forma pauperis or the appropriate filing fee; petitioner's failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this action; and

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send petitioner a copy of the in forma pauperis form used by this district.
