DISCUSSION

16

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

17

(“NDOC”), has submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and has

18

filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 1, 1-1).

19

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is incomplete. Pursuant to 28

20

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

21

proceed in forma pauperis and attach both an inmate account statement for the past six

22

months and a properly executed financial certificate. Plaintiff has not submitted a properly

23

executed financial certificate or an inmate account statement. (See ECF No. 1). As such,

24

the in forma pauperis application is denied without prejudice. The Court will retain

25

Plaintiff’s civil rights complaint (ECF No. 1-1), but will not file it until the matter of the

26

payment of the filing fee is resolved. Plaintiff will be granted an opportunity to cure the

27

deficiencies of his application to proceed in forma pauperis, or in the alternative, pay the

28

full filing fee for this action. If Plaintiff chooses to file a new application to proceed in

1

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