JEFFREY A. KULLOS, Plaintiff, v. K. ADMANSON et al., Defendants.
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
Plaintiff, who is a prisoner in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections, has submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 1, 1-1). Plaintiff has conspicuously failed to sign the penalty of perjury declarations on both his application to proceed in forma pauperis and his complaint.
Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis is incomplete. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and Local Rule LSR 1-2, Plaintiff must complete an application to proceed in forma pauperis and attach both an inmate account statement for the past six months and a properly executed financial certificate. Plaintiff has not signed the penalty of perjury page on page 3 of the application to proceed in forma pauperis. (See ECF No. 1 at 3). As such, the in forma pauperis application is denied without prejudice.
Plaintiff has also failed to sign the penalty of perjury pages on his form complaint. (ECF No. 1-1 at 9, 11). The Court will grant Plaintiff an opportunity to submit a properly signed application to proceed in forma pauperis and complaint.
II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) is DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court SHALL SEND Plaintiff a complete copy of both his original application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) and his complaint (ECF No. 1-1).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within thirty (30) days from the date of this order, Plaintiff shall sign the penalty of perjury pages on both his application to proceed in forma pauperis and his complaint and resubmit them to the Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, if Plaintiff does not timely comply with this order, dismissal of this action may result.
DATED: This 3rd day of November, 2017.
