ECF No. 1-1. However, Plaintiff did 12 not submit a complaint, and neither filed a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis nor 13 paid the filing fee. In order to commence a case in federal court Plaintiff must do the following: 14 1. Either pay the $402 filing fee or file a complete application to proceed in forma 15 pauperis (see

(a)(1); U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada Local Rule 16 LSR 1-1); and, 17 2. Comply with Local Special Rule 2-1 requiring a civil rights complaint filed by a 18 person who is not represented by an attorney to be submitted on the form provided by the Court. 19 Plaintiff’s initiating document is not on the Court’s form, identifies one Defendant, Clark 20 County Courthouse, which is not a proper defendant, and fails to state a claim upon which relief 21 may be granted.
