No. 4:14-CV-1821-RLW

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff's pro se complaint. The complaint is defective
because it has not been drafted on a Court-provided form, see Local Rule 2.06(A), and because
plaintiff has neither paid the filing fee nor submitted a motion to proceed in forma pauperis along
with a prison account statement, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall mail to plaintiff a copy of the Court's
form Prisoner Civil Rights Complaint.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall mail to plaintiff a copy of the Court's
Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis - Prisoner Cases.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall file an amended complaint on the Courtprovided form within (30) days of the date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall either pay the $400 filing fee or submit a
motion to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff submits a motion to proceed in forma

pauperis, he must also submit a certified copy of his prison account statement for the six month
period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, the court
will dismiss this action without prejudice. If the case is dismissed, the dismissal will not constitute
a "strike" under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
Dated this 30th day of October, 2014.
