No. 4:12CV1992 SPM

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff’s submission of a civil complaint
and motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, has not
filed his complaint on a Court-provided form. Pursuant to Local Rule 2.06(A), pro
se plaintiffs are required to utilize a Court-provided form when drafting pleadings.
As a result, the Court will order plaintiff to submit an amended complaint on a Courtprovided form.
The Court has reviewed the financial information submitted with the motion
to proceed in forma pauperis and finds that plaintiff is unable to pay the filing fee.
Therefore, the Court will grant the motion.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma
pauperis [Doc. #2] is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall mail to plaintiff a Civil
Complaint form.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall submit an amended
complaint on the Court-provided form no later than thirty (30) days from the date of
this Memorandum and Order.
Dated this 5th day of December, 2012.
