Under the Prison Litigation Reform Act ("PRLA") it is proper for a district court to dismiss a civil action brought by multiple inmates. Hubbard v. Haley, 262 F.3d 1194, 1198 (11th Cir. 2001). In order to allow for independent 28 U.S.C. § 1915A frivolity determinations to be made concerning each individual Plaintiff, and AO 72A (Rev.8/82) Dockets.Justia.com to insure that each Plaintiff pays the full filing fee, the Court will dismiss this action without prejudice, and Plaintiffs must refile separate complaints.] IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the instant civil rights complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to send, to each Plaintiff who has provided his individual address to the Court, a form civil rights complaint, a financial affidavit, and a copy of this Order. IT IS SO ORDERED, this IS'" day of ~ , 2010. THOMAS W. THRASH, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Because the complaint is unclear and falls far short of Fed. R. Civ.
