ZACHARY JOHNSON, et al., Plaintiffs, v. ERIC HOLDER JR., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
On January 3, 2013, the court dismissed plaintiffs' complaint without prejudice (ECF #2), and judgment was entered (ECF #3). Before the court is plaintiffs' motion to reinstate plaintiffs (ECF #4).
The court now clarifies that one plaintiff-Zachary Johnson-submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis. However, as the court explained in its earlier order, each plaintiff must submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis on the court-approved form, and each application must be accompanied by all required financial documentation, as described in the instructions for use of the form. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1)-(2); Local Rules of Special Proceedings 1-1, 1-2. Accordingly, plaintiffs' motion is denied. Again, if plaintiffs wish to pursue this matter, they should file a new action, with a new case number, along with either the $350 filing fee or a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis for each plaintiff.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiffs' motion to reinstate plaintiffs (ECF #4) is DENIED.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the clerk SHALL SEND each plaintiff the approved form for Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, as well as the document "Information and Instructions for Filing a Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis."
