-PAL Meeks v. Burson et al Doc. 2 1 2 3 4 5 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA 6 7 8 ANDREW L. MEEKS, II, 9 10 Plaintiff, 2:12-cv-00759-GMN-PAL vs. 11 12 CHERYL BURSON, et al., 13 ORDER Defendants. 14 15 16 Plaintiff, a Nevada state inmate, has filed an application (#1) to proceed in forma pauperis seeking to initiate a civil rights action. 17 The application is incomplete. Both a financial certificate properly executed by an 18 appropriate institutional officer on the Court’s required form and a statement of the plaintiff’s 19 inmate trust fund account for the past six months are required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and 20 Local Rule LSR1-2. Plaintiff did not attach a statement of his inmate trust fund account for 21 the past six months. 22 It does not appear from review of the allegations presented that a dismissal without 23 prejudice will result in a promptly-filed properly commenced action being time-barred. This 24 improperly-commenced action therefore will be dismissed without prejudice. 25 IT THEREFORE IS ORDERED that the application to proceed in forma pauperis (#1) 26 is DENIED and that this action shall be DISMISSED without prejudice to the filing of a new 27 complaint in a new action together with either a new pauper application with all required, and 28 new, attachments or payment of the $350.00 filing fee.
