FELISES BURTON, Plaintiff, v. UKEE #918, Defendants.
ORDER
Plaintiff, who is a prisoner in the custody of the Las Vegas Detention Center, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(h), has submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis (dkt. no. 1) and a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court dismisses this action because plaintiff did not include with his application (dkt. no. 1) a financial certificate and a copy of his inmate account statement, as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and Local Rule LSR 1-2. Plaintiff has attached a letter stating that he could find nobody to sign the certificate and provide a statement, but the Court has received completed applications from the inmate accounts department of the Las Vegas Detention Center before. Plaintiff needs to direct his questions to them.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the application to proceed in forma pauperis (dkt. no. 1) is DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff a blank form for an application to proceed in forma pauperis for incarcerated litigants and a blank civil rights complaint form with instructions.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice to plaintiff's commencement of a new action in which he either pays the filing fee in full or submits a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis, accompanied by a signed financial certificate and a statement of his inmate account. The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment accordingly.
