CAMDEN COUNTY JAIL,
:
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
:
Defendant.

_________________________________________ :
Plaintiff is proceeding pro se with a civil rights complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §
1983. Petitioner is no longer incarcerated, but his complaint relates to his incarceration while at
the Camden County Jail in 2002 and 2003. He has brought an application to proceed in forma
pauperis as a non-prisoner. This Court will deny plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma
pauperis without prejudice. Despite not being a prisoner, plaintiff has stated for every single item
on the in forma pauperis form that income sources are not applicable. This Court finds such
“N/A” designation insufficient. If petitioner has no income sources, he must specifically state in
each box a “0” designation, as opposed to his “N/A” designation on the entire form itself.
Additionally, plaintiff must fill out the forms other sections rather than simply writing “N/A” in
each and every section. Only then can this Court determine whether he is indigent and therefore
entitled to in forma pauperis status.
Accordingly, IT IS this 29th day of August, 2016,
ORDERED that plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is denied without
prejudice; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk shall administratively terminate this case; plaintiff is informed
that administrative termination is not a “dismissal” for purposes of the statute of limitations, and

that if the case is reopened, it is not subject to the statute of limitations time bar provided the
original complaint was timely; and it is further
ORDERED that plaintiff may have the above entitled case reopened, if, within thirty (30)
days of the date of the entry of this Order, plaintiff either pre-pays the $400 filing fee or submits
to the Clerk a complete signed in forma pauperis application; and it is further
ORDERED that upon receipt of a writing from plaintiff stating that he wishes to reopen
this case, and either a complete in forma pauperis application or filing fee within the time
allotted by this Court, the Clerk will be directed to reopen this case; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve on plaintiff by regular U.S. mail: (1) this Order;
and (2) a blank form application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner in a civil rights
case.
