LLOYD G. DOTSON, Plaintiff, v. GEORGE LOMBARDI, et al., Defendants.
OPINION , MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the filing of plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order. Because plaintiff has not yet filed a complaint in this action, the Court will require that he file a complaint on a court-provided form. See Local Rule 2.06(A). Further, plaintiff has neither paid the filing fee nor submitted a motion to proceed in forma pauperis along with a prison account statement, so he will be required to do so before he can proceed with this action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall mail to plaintiff a copy of the Court's form Prisoner Civil Rights Complaint.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall mail to plaintiff a copy of the Court's Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis - Prisoner Cases.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall file a complaint on the Court-provided form within (30) days of the date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall either pay the $400 filing fee or submit a motion to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff submits a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, he must also submit a certified copy of his prison account statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, the court will dismiss this action without prejudice. If the case is dismissed, the dismissal will not constitute a "strike" under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
Dated this 14th day of April, 2016.
