We study the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution for the singular nonlinear fractional differential equation boundary value problem
where 
is a real number, 
is the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative and 
is continuous, 
(f is singular at 
). Our approach is based on a coupled fixed point theorem on ordered metric spaces.
An example is given to illustrate our main result.
