ORDER

17
18

Plaintiff has submitted a pro se document styled affidavit of writ of notice of civil rights

19

violations (docket #1-1). Such document is insufficient to initiate an action in this court. Moreover,

20

plaintiff has failed to either pay the filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis on

21

the required form. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1)-(2); Local Rules of Special Proceedings 1-1, 1-2.

22

Accordingly, plaintiff’s action is dismissed without prejudice. If plaintiff wishes to pursue this matter,

23

he should file a new action, with a new case number, along with either the $350 filing fee or a completed

24

application to proceed in forma pauperis on the court-approved form. The application must be

25

accompanied by all required financial documentation, as described in the instructions for use of the form.

26

1

Plaintiff should also note that the Local Rules require plaintiffs appearing in pro se, such

2

as this plaintiff, to file all of their complaints and petitions on the court’s approved forms. LSR 2-1(“[a]

3

civil rights complaint filed by a person who is not represented by counsel shall be on the form provided

4

by this court.”).

5

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice.

6

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall ENTER JUDGMENT accordingly

7

and close this case.
