Opinion
3:10-cv-00627-LRH-RAM.
November 5, 2010
ORDER
On October 6, 2010, the court received a motion for appointment of counsel from plaintiff (docket #1-1). Such document is insufficient to initiate a civil rights action in this court. First, a motion for appointment of counsel must be accompanied by a civil rights complaint. Second, the Local Rules require plaintiffs appearing in pro se, such as this plaintiff, to file all complaints or petitions on the court's approved forms. 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."). Plaintiff is further advised that as he is a three strikes litigant, if he chooses to file a civil rights complaint, he must pay the full filing fee, unless he alleges imminent serious physical harm.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice. If plaintiff chooses to file a complaint, he must file a new action under a new case number.
DATED this 5th day of November, 2010.
