I.
DISCUSSION
14
Plaintiff, who is a prisoner in the custody of the Clark County Detention Center, has
15
submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and has filed an application to
16
proceed in forma pauperis for non-prisoners. (ECF No. 1, 1-1).
17
Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is incomplete. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
18
§ 1915(a)(2) and Local Rule LSR 1-2, Plaintiff must complete an application to proceed in
19
forma pauperis for prisoners and attach both an inmate account statement for the past six
20
months and a properly executed financial certificate. Plaintiff has submitted the incorrect in
21
forma pauperis application. (See ECF No. 1). As such, the in forma pauperis application is
22
denied without prejudice. The Court will retain Plaintiff’s civil rights complaint (ECF No. 1-1),
23
but will not file it until the matter of the payment of the filing fee is resolved. Plaintiff will be
24
granted an opportunity to cure the deficiencies of his application to proceed in forma pauperis,
25
or in the alternative, pay the full filing fee for this action. If Plaintiff chooses to file a new
26
application to proceed in forma pauperis he must file a fully complete application to proceed
27
in forma pauperis.
