Case No. 2:12-cv-01354-MMD-PAL
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION (dkt. no. 6)
v.

V. PAREZ, et al.,
13
Defendants.

Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of the Honorable Peggy A.
Leen, United States Magistrate Judge, entered January 22, 2013. (Dkt. no. 6.)
17
The Court previously denied Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis
18
because it could not determine whether Plaintiff was a patient or inmate at Northern
19
Nevada Hills Mental Health Services. (Dkt. no. 2.) Plaintiff was directed to clearly state
20
whether or not he was incarcerated in any second application. Plaintiff filed a second
21
application, but again did not state whether or not he is incarcerated. He submitted the
22
form application for individuals who are not incarcerated. The application, however,
23
states that Plaintiff is incarcerated at 500 Galetti Way, Sparks, Nevada, the address for
24
the Northern Nevada Hills Mental Health Services. Moreover, Plaintiff did not provide
25
the required financial affidavit or statements from any inmate trust accounts as the Court
26
asked for in its previous order. The Magistrate Judge accordingly recommends that
27
Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis be denied with prejudice, as it is
28
impossible for the Court to determine whether Plaintiff is eligible to proceed in forma
1
pauperis.1

(Dkt. no. 6.)

The Magistrate Judge also recommends dismissing Plaintiff’s Complaint.
Plaintiff did not file an objection to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation, but instead filed an Amended Complaint (dkt. no. 7).
5
The Court has conducted a de novo review of the record in this case in
6
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rule IB 3-2, and determines that
7
Magistrate Judge Leen’s Report and Recommendation (dkt. no. 6) should be
8
ACCEPTED.
9
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed in Forma
10
Pauperis (dkt. no. 4) is DENIED WITH PREJUDICE. This action is dismissed. The Clerk
11
of the Court is HEREBY ORDERED to close the case.
12
ENTERED this 26th day of February 2013.

undeliverable. (Dkt. no. 8.)
