CHRISTOPHER CHARLES ROMERO, Plaintiff, v. THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF BERNALILLO, MAYOR TIM KELLER, JASON JONES, SERGIO SAPIEN, Defendants.
ORDER TO CURE DEFICIENCIES
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's Letter Regarding Civil Rights Claims (Doc.1) (Letter). Plaintiff is incarcerated and proceeding pro se. The Letter indicates he wishes to file a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint. On December 19, 2023, the Clerk's Office sent Plaintiff a blank § 1983 complaint and motion to proceed in forma pauperis. He has not returned the forms. Plaintiff must file a complaint within thirty (30) days of entry of this Order. By the same deadline, Plaintiff must also prepay the $405 filing fee or, alternatively, file an in forma pauperis motion along with an account statement reflecting transactions for a six-month period. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). All filings should include the case number (23-cv-01123-JB-KBM). In addition, all mailing envelopes should be labelled as “Legal Mail” and include Plaintiff's inmate number. The failure to timely comply with this Order may result in dismissal of this case without further notice.
IT IS ORDERED that within thirty (30) days, Plaintiff must: (1) file a complaint on the § 1983 form; and (2) prepay the $405 filing fee or, alternatively, submit an in forma pauperis motion that attaches an account statement reflecting transactions for a six-month period.
SO ORDERED.
