ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO CURE DEFICIENCIES
Plaintiff, Harold B. Hicks, III, is an inmate at the Weld County Jail in Greeley, Colorado. Mr. Hicks initiated this action by filing pro se in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California a civil rights complaint and a motion seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. In an order entered on August 22, 2012, the Northern District of California transferred the action to this court.
As part of the court's review pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 8.2, the court has determined that Mr. Hicks' complaint and in forma pauperis motion are deficient because they are not filed on the proper forms approved for use by prisoners in the District of Colorado. Mr. Hicks will be directed to cure these deficiencies if he wishes to pursue his claims in this court in this action. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that Mr. Hicks cure the deficiencies identified in this order within thirty (30) days from the date of this order. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Hicks shall obtain the court-approved Prisoner's Motion and Affidavit for Leave to Proceed Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 and Prisoner Complaint forms (with the assistance of his case manager or the facility's legal assistant), along with the applicable instructions, at www.cod.uscourts.gov. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that if Mr. Hicks fails within the time allowed to cure the deficiencies identified in this order, the action will be dismissed without further notice.
DATED August 24, 2012, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
Boyd N. Boland
United States Magistrate Judge
