KEVIN HUGHES, Plaintiff, v. DR. SANDERS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
Plaintiff, who is a prisoner in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(h), has submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis (#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 (#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.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the application to proceed in forma pauperis (#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.
