Document:
CLARK COUNTY CLERK OF COURTS, et al., Defendants.
Presently before the court is incarcerated pro se Plaintiff Barren Mar Thuna's application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 6), filed on November 8, 2017.
Further, the Court must take special note of claims brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 that concern conduct related to a plaintiff's criminal conviction. “[I]f a criminal conviction arising out of the same facts [as a § 1983 claim] stands and is fundamentally inconsistent with the unlawful behavior for which section 1983 damages are sought, the 1983 action must be dismissed.” Smithart v. Towery, 79 F.3d 951, 952 (9th Cir. 1996) (citing Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 (1994)). The Heck rule bars a plaintiff from bringing a suit under § 1983 if a judgment in favor of the plaintiff would necessarily imply the invalidity of his conviction or sentence. See Whitaker v. Garcetti, 486 F.3d 572, 581 (9th Cir. 2007).
Here, Plaintiff's initiating documents include a document labeled as a complaint (ECF No. 1-1), but the text of this document contains only a “Notice of intent to file 1983 Civil Rights Complaint.” It appears that Plaintiff intends to file suit against the Clark County Clerk of Courts. However, the complaint is only a single page and contains no allegations of any particular dates, and the only fact asserted is that “all violations occurred in Clark County, Nevada.” Plaintiff's complaint does not allege any substantive facts to support her cause of action. The Court will therefore dismiss Plaintiff's complaint with leave to amend.
Additionally, Plaintiff is advised that if she files an amended complaint, the original complaint (ECF No. 1-1) no longer serves any function in this case. As such, the amended complaint must be complete in and of itself without reference to prior pleadings or other documents. The Court cannot refer to a prior pleading or other documents to make Plaintiff's amended complaint complete.
