Complaint Under The Civil Rights Act

Complaint under the Civil Rights Act 42 U.S.C. § 1983, (1) This complaint must be legibly handwritten or typewritten, and signed by the plaintiff. All questions must be answered concisely in the proper space on the form. Do NOT write on the back of any page. No citation of case or statutory authority is necessary. (2) Additional pages not to exceed fifteen (15) in number may be included with the court approved form complaint, provided the form is completely filled in to the extent applicable in the particular case. This limitation does not include exhibits. (3) Upon receipt of a fee of $400 ($350 statutory fee and $50 administrative fee) your complaint will be filed if it is in proper order. The $400 fee must be submitted with the complaint, not separately. (4) If you do not have the necessary funds to pay the filing fee or cannot afford to pay for transcripts, counsel, appeal, or other costs connected with this civil action, you may request permission to proceed in forma pauperis, in which event you must execute a separate form provided by the Court, entitled “Motion and Declaration Under Penalty of Perjury in Support of Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis” setting forth information establishing your inability to pay fees or costs. IF YOU ARE A PRISONER, you must attach a certified copy of your prison trust account statements for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint per 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) or your motion to proceed in forma pauperis will be denied. Even if your motion to proceed in forma pauperis is granted, however, the Court may assess an initial partial filing fee at the time your action is file and the $50 administrative fee will be waived. After the initial partial fee is assessed, YOU WILL STILL OWE THE BALANCE OF THE $350 STATUTORY FILING FEE WHICH THE COURT WILL ORDER GARNISHED FROM YOUR PRISON TRUST ACCOUNT.
