Meredith v. Flores Doc. 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA 7 8 9 ALLEN S. MEREDITH, 10 Plaintiff, 11 vs. 12 13 14 3:13-cv-00654-RCJ-WGC ORDER STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, Defendant. 15 16 17 Plaintiff, a Nevada state inmate, has filed an application (#1) to proceed in forma pauperis seeking to initiate a civil rights action. 18 The pauper application is incomplete. Both a financial certificate properly completed 19 and executed by an authorized institutional officer and a statement of the plaintiff’s inmate 20 trust fund account for the past six months are required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and Local 21 Rule LSR1-2. Plaintiff attached two copies of the financial certificate form, but neither copy 22 was completed and executed by an authorized officer as required. Further, he did not attach 23 a statement of his inmate trust account for the past six months. 24 It does not appear from review of the allegations presented that a dismissal without 25 prejudice of the present improperly-commenced action would lead to a promptly-filed new 26 action being untimely. Plaintiff bases his complaint on alleged actions on and after August 27 11, 2013, and he seeks damages. A federal civil rights action arising within Nevada is subject 28 to a two-year limitations period.
