ORDER
This is a civil rights action brought pro se by Edmund Conception, a prisoner at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada. Plaintiff has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis and submitted a civil rights complaint and motion for appointment of counsel. (ECF No. 1.) However, plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis and his complaint are not on the proper form and do not comply with the rules of court as to the necessary information and content. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1)-(2); Local Rules of Special Proceedings (LSR) 1-1, 1-2 and LSR 2-1 ("[a] civil rights complaint filed by a person who is not represented by counsel shall be on the form provided by this court."). The Court will therefore provide the plaintiff with a set of forms for filing a civil right complaint in the Court, and will deny the application as currently constituted.
Plaintiff will be given thirty (30) days in which to either submit a complete in forma pauperis application, including all of the required financial documents, or pay the full $350.00 filing fee. Plaintiffs failure to do either of these things may result in the dismissal of his lawsuit with prejudice. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Docket #1) is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff shall have thirty (30) days in which to either submit a complete in forma pauperis application including a financial certificate on the approved from, or pay the full $350.00 filing fee.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall SEND Petitioner the approved form for an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis by a prisoner filing a § 1983 civil rights lawsuit and the approved form and instructions for filing a civil rights complaint. The Clerk shall also include a copy of the complaint plaintiff has submitted herein. (ECF No. 1-1.)
