Electronic Order denying without prejudice #4 motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court has received from petitioner Vivian Cook the second page of a two-page in forma pauperis application. In this incomplete document, Cook represents that he has $6,300 in cash or in a checking or savings account.

Cook must, within 21 days, pay the $5.00 filing fee or show good cause why he is unable to do so. Any show cause response should be accompanied by a certificate from the treasurer or other appropriate officer of Devens showing the balance of Cook's institutional account. (PSSA, 3)
