Presently before the court is the matter of Thomas Sr v. Atlas Group LC et al., case number
2:16-cv-02729-JCM-PAL.
Petitioner has filed an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) and
a motion for registration of judgment from another district (ECF No. 3).

18

Local Rule LSR 1-1 provides that “[a]ny person who is unable to prepay the fees in a civil

19

case may apply to the court for authority to proceed in forma pauperis. The application must be

20

made on the form provided by the court and must include a financial affidavit disclosing the

21

applicant’s income, assets expenses, and liabilities.” LSR 1-1. Petitioner’s application was not

22

made on the proper form and does not contain the required financial affidavit. Therefore,

23

petitioner’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) is denied.

24

Further, petitioner’s motion for registration (ECF No. 3) seeks to register a judgment that

25

is not from another district court. Rather, this document purports to issue from a fictitious entity—

26

specifically, the “Adjudicator Court” of the “Unincorporated United States of America.” (ECF

27

No. 3 at 17). Therefore, petitioner’s motion is denied.

2

ability to bring a new action. Petitioner is instructed that if he wishes to bring a new action, he

3

must pay the filing fee in full or submit a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s application for leave to proceed in forma

6

pauperis (ECF No. 1) and motion for registration of judgment from another district (ECF No. 3)

7

be, and the same hereby are, DENIED.
