ORDER

DISCUSSION

15

Plaintiff, who is a prisoner in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections

16

(“NDOC”), has submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No. 1-1).

17

Plaintiff has neither paid the full filing fee for this matter nor filed an application to proceed in

18

forma pauperis.

19

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and Local Rule LSR 1-2, Plaintiff must complete an

20

application to proceed in forma pauperis and attach both an inmate account statement for the

21

past six months and a properly executed financial certificate. Plaintiff will be granted an

22

opportunity to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis, or in the alternative, pay the full

23

filing fee for this action. If Plaintiff chooses to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis

24

he must file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis.

25

Although Plaintiff has submitted a complaint in this case, Plaintiff has not signed the

26

penalty of perjury section of his complaint, his notice of certificate of service by mailing, or his

27

affirmation. (See ECF No. 1-1 at 9-11). It appears that another inmate helped Plaintiff

28

prepare this complaint and submitted the complaint to this Court without Plaintiff’s signature.
(Id. at 9). The Court grants Plaintiff thirty (30) days from the date of this order to submit a

1

signed copy of the complaint to this Court.
